    Criminal Division Announces Guidance Narrowing FCPA Enforcement and Emphasizes Intent to Pursue “Meritorious” Corporate Enforcement Actions

    On June 10, 2025, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memorandum titled “Guidelines for Investigations and Enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)” (FCPA Guidelines), ending a four-month “pause” of FCPA enforcement ordered by President Trump. On the same day, the Head of DOJ’s Criminal Division, Matthew Galeotti, in remarks at the American Conference Institute Conference on Global Anti-Corruption, Ethics & Compliance, offered color on both the FCPA Guidelines and expanded on DOJ’s approach under the Criminal Division’s May 12, 2025 White Collar Enforcement Plan, which identified substantive areas of focus for DOJ. While DOJ’s approach to the FCPA remained in question following the Executive Order, the FCPA Guidelines and Galeotti’s remarks suggest that DOJ under the current administration may take a more active approach to FCPA enforcement than was expected after the issuance of the Executive Order.
