Alexandra Wrage of the WrageBlog shares her experiences using the Department of Justice’s opinion release procedure under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: Approaching the Sphinx: The DOJ’s Opinion Release Procedure.
Ms. Wrage takes us through the experiences of TRACE International in obtaining FCPA Opinion Procedure Release 08-03.
The opinion release procedure for the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is fairly unique for a criminal law. You can ask the government if your proposed action is potentially criminal.
