Financial Crime Weekly Episode 08.1 (Special Edition)

In this Special Edition of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast we look at the corporate offence of failure to prevent bribery under section 7, Bribery Act 2010 which has been in the news recently following the Coca-Cola bribery scandal - where Coca Cola was the victim of bribery-induced 'fresh air' contracts - but also more recently with the charges brought against Glencore for alleged bribery in the conduct of its oil business operations.

Additionally, the podcast also looks at the role which Deferred Prosecution Agreements have in this area and how they can be used as an alternative to prosecution by the relevant prosecuting authorities. The podcast explains their operation and offers reflections on the advantages and disadvantages of their use.
