The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued updated guidelines marking the resumption of enforcement under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) after a period of pause. The new guidance narrows the scope of investigations, focusing on protecting U.S. interests and strategic priorities. This shift reflects an America-first approach in the DOJ's foreign corruption enforcement strategy. The updated policies also emphasize enhanced tariff compliance enforcement and an expansion of the whistleblower program. Legal experts note that the DOJ's Criminal Division is prioritizing enforcement related to trade, tariff, and customs fraud, underscoring the increasing risks companies face amid global tariff uncertainties. The construction and insurance industries are among those advised to plan carefully to navigate the evolving trade environment. Overall, the DOJ's renewed commitment to FCPA enforcement signals a new era of targeted investigations aligned with U.S. security and economic interests.
