  • Mike DeBernardis on Considerations for FCPA Trials

    Mike DeBernardis on Considerations for FCPA Trials
    Mar 31 2025
    Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group’s podcast, All Things Investigation. In this podcast, host Tom Fox is joined by HHR partner Mike DeBernardis on the considerations of trying an FCPA case. Tom and Mike deeply dive into the complexities of preparing for and trying an FCPA case. It includes negotiating with corporate and individual clients involved in criminal cases. It is often easier to convince corporate clients to cooperate with government entities and engage in negotiation processes. Conversely, individual clients, driven by strong convictions of their innocence, can be resistant unless negotiation results in a non-prosecution decision. We highlight the challenging conversations defense counsels must have with individual clients regarding realistic outcomes, including discussing the strengths of the prosecution’s case and potential plea deals. Establishing early discussions about acceptable outcomes and strategies is vital to navigating these difficult negotiations.

  • Terrorism Designations of Mexican Cartels Fundamentally Enhances Risk for All Companies

    Terrorism Designations of Mexican Cartels Fundamentally Enhances Risk for All Companies
    Mar 17 2025
    Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group’s podcast, All Things Investigation. In this podcast, host Tom Fox is joined by Jeremy Paner and Diego Durán de la Vega to discuss the designation of cartels and other actors in Mexico as foreign terrorist organizations and what this means for US businesses. This episode considers the significant compliance regulation changes affecting US domestic and Mexican companies. The focal point is the recent designation of cartels and their members as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) and/or Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT). Unlike in the past, where counter-narcotics sanctions had a limited impact on day-to-day business operations, these new rules introduced a different risk landscape. The spotlight is not simply on the widely-publicized foreign terrorist organizations but rather on the lesser-known yet impactful, specially designated global terrorist (SDGT) actions. These SDGT designations empower the US Treasury’s terrorist finance tracking program, effectively increasing surveillance on Mexican payments, thus posing new challenges and risks for domestic companies.
