Corporate Investigations On The Rise?

A good friend of the FCPA Blog who contributes the Corporate Investigations List sent the following message a couple of days ago, logos included:

Dear FCPA Blog,

It’s barely a month into the new quarter and already five new companies are under or potentially under FCPA investigation (that I am aware of). Perhaps the pace is quickening.

They are:
 
  Brazil-based with potential issues in “three countries” (see our post).

 
  U.S.-based with potential issue in Angola (see our post).

 
  China-based with potential issue in China.

 
  Japan-based with potential issue in the U.K. (see our post).

 
  U.S.-based with potential issues in Algeria, Egypt, India, Morocco, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia (see our post).
