On September 3 and 4, the U.S. Department of Justice announced two separate indictments alleging complex, multimillion dollar schemes by individuals acting at the behest of the Chinese and Russian governments to manipulate domestic policy or public opinion on behalf of foreign interests in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. These indictments and other recent developments highlight the potential need for both public and private sector organizations to increase awareness of, and compliance measures addressing, foreign governments’ covert influence and information-gathering efforts.
