Description

What have Latin American countries learned from recent experiences such as the enforcement of judgements resulting from Lava Jato, Panama Papers, among others?

This panel will discuss the current trends and biggest concerns from an anti-corruption compliance perspective, as well as the opportunities and risks involved in distressed M&A transactions emerging due to anti-corruption enforcement actions. What is the role of sanctions from the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and other regulations in the fight against corruption, terrorism and money laundering?
