Former AG Michael Mukasey and James Dunlop have an article in Engage, Can Someone Please Turn on the Lights? Bringing Transparency to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act:
Passed in 1977, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") set out to achieve a laudable goal: to prevent U.S. companies and persons, when conducting business abroad, from corrupting the governments and people they meet.... Unfortunately, that unobjectionable vision has virtually disappeared in a miasma of aggressive prosecutions by the Justice Department--with $2.95 billion in penalties collected since 2009.
