In order to provide an overview for busy in-house counsel and compliance professionals, we summarize below some of the most important international anti-corruption developments from the past month, with links to primary resources. This month we ask: How did the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) revise its stance on ephemeral messaging systems? Which U.S. enforcement agency announced that it had entered the foreign bribery arena? What steps has the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) taken to combat foreign bribery in Latin America? Which Asian country appointed its first-ever anti-corruption ombudsman? The answers to these questions and more are here in our March 2019 Top Ten list.
