We saw in yesterday’s post that awarding restitution to the governments whose employees accepted (or solicited) the bribes doesn’t quite work.

I’ve argued in this series (see links to the prior posts below) and in this paper that FCPA enforcement should benefit the victims of bribery -- namely, the citizens of the countries in which the bribery occurs. Congress intended the statute to do this very thing, and it should do so now.

Wal-Mart said Thursday it spent $73 million on FCPA-related expenses during the first quarter of 2013. It had budgeted $40 million to $45 million.

I’ve argued in this series that we should think of corruption generally, and bribery specifically, as violating human rights -- specifically the rights of the citizens of the countries in which bribery occurs. (And make no mistake, this includes the U.S.).

After a brief end-of-the-semester hiatus we’re picking back up our series on Wal-Mart’s victims. And we’re less than half-way through.

With last week’s landmark Supreme Court case in Kiobel, the world is talking about corporations and human rights. But anti-bribery statutes typically aren’t mentioned.

Thursday’s landmark Supreme Court decision in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum has more relevance to the FCPA and Wal-Mart than you might think.

As we saw in Part II, the government has come to think that the FCPA’s chief purpose is to “level the playing field.” And much criticism of modern enforcement, especially from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, charges that it has failed to achieve that goal.

David Barstow and Alejandra Xanic von Bertrab of the New York Times were awarded the Pulitzer Prize Monday for their investigation of Wal-Mart's alleged bribery in Mexico and the cover up that followed.

It’s probably fair to say that the corporate poster child of FCPA enforcement, right now, is Siemens. But that’s about to change.
