The Department of Justice of the United States will defer prosecution of Alcatel on charges it violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and must enter a three-year probation period monitored by a French anti corruption monitor.

From BusinessWeek, “’There can be no assurances, however, that final agreements will be reached with the agencies or accepted in court,’ according to the filing. ‘If finalized, the agreements would relate to alleged violations of the FCPA involving several countries, including Costa Rica, Taiwan, and Kenya.’”
