Corporate Crime Reporter Questions Timing of DPC Settlement Press Release
As a follow-up to our story in yesterday's International Trade Law News on the FCPA settlements entered into by Diagnostic Products Corporation (DPC), the Corporate Crime Reporter questions the timing of the late Friday afternoon press release issued by the Justice Department in that case. The article notes that since the press release was issued so late on Friday afternoon that the mainstream press had few stories on the pleas agreement. DPC's counsel denies that the timing of the press release was negotiated with the Justice Department.
