cci bribery was concentrated around 2004, and the largest single amount of bribery was $3.48 million to Dongfang in

they offer bribes in various ways, including traveling abroad and supporting their children to go to school

in the 2009 report, it was mentioned that Guohua Energy was also involved, but according to the available documents, Guohua Energy should be misreading, and the correct one should be Guohua Power, which is also Shenhua Group. Guohua Energy has also made clarifications on this

according to relevant information, Shenhua Beijing Guohua Power Co., Ltd. was established on March 11, 1999. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenhua Group Co., Ltd., it is fully responsible for the operation and management of the group's power business

American control components company mainly designs and produces control valves for nuclear power industry, oil and gas industry and power generation industry. The company has four manufacturing plants worldwide and a technology center in the UK

according to the announcement of the U.S. Department of justice, since 1998, U.S. controlled component companies have obtained sales contracts by systematically bribing U.S. private enterprises and government officials of other countries, as well as employees of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises

not only the company itself, but also several executives, including a Chinese American, were prosecuted by the Ministry of justice, including former CEO Stuart Carson and his Chinese American wife Hong (Ross) Carson. The Chinese woman was the company's sales director in China and Chinese Mainland Taiwan

on July 31, 2009, at the Santa Ana District Court in central California, American control components admitted three criminal charges against it to the judge and agreed to pay a criminal fine of $18.2 million

according to the plea agreement, the U.S. controlled component company paid about $4.9 million in bribes to officials of various foreign state-owned enterprises in violation of the overseas anti corruption act, and about $1.95 million in bribes to executives and employees of private enterprises at home and abroad in violation of the travel act. In addition to the above-mentioned Chinese companies, South Korea's water conservancy and nuclear power company, Malaysia's national oil company and the National Petroleum Engineering Company of the United Arab Emirates were also accused of accepting bribes

however, the domestic enterprises involved in the case reacted differently

in mid August 2009, CNOOC said that "the results showed that no employees took bribes". It said that after the U.S. Department of justice informed the matter, CNOOC organized five investigation teams to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the business dealings with CCI and its agents in the whole system in the past eight years. The investigation showed that during this period, 11 units (projects) of CNOOC had business contacts with CCI and its agents, but no violations were found in all links

CNOOC also said that the head office had asked CCI to assist in the investigation of this matter. IMI, the parent company of CCI, officially replied on June 22, 2009, pointing out that the external lawyer of IMI had informed the US Department of justice that these payees were not employees of CNOOC, but former CCI employees or their relatives and friends. "It is most likely that these former CCI employees and their associates embezzled the money." IMI company told CNOOC, "there is no evidence that the money really came into the hands of CNOOC employees."

in addition, China Resources Power also issued a statement saying that it had known about this matter since February 2009 and had investigated its subordinate enterprises. A total of three of its enterprises were involved in transactions with American control component companies, but there was no evidence to prove that American control component companies had bribed China Resources Power

cc also has some applicable effects. I reconciled the Bureau.

interestingly, the investigation of the US control component company originated from the internal investigation of its parent company IMI. According to the documents available, IMI decided to investigate the US control component company due to reports from insiders of the US control component company

after investigating the bribery, IMI reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice: pay a criminal fine of $18.2 million; Establish, implement and maintain a comprehensive anti bribery compliance project; Maintain an independent three-year compliance monitoring plan to review the design and implementation of its anti bribery compliance project, and make regular reports on this project to the Ministry of justice; Accept a three-year organized review period; Agreed to continue to cooperate with the Ministry of justice on the ongoing investigation

through the settlement agreement, the U.S. Department of justice only punished the executives involved in the case of the U.S. control component company, making IMI preserve the U.S. control component company

according to insiders, under the U.S. legal framework, companies can effectively avoid greater losses by actively conducting bribery investigations and settling with the U.S. government

the main law of the United States for companies' overseas bribery is the overseas anti corruption act, also known as the overseas anti bribery act. Famous cases of violating this Law include the prosecution of fidelity National Finance Corporation in the United States in 2005 on suspicion of bribery of former CCB president Zhang Enzhao, the payment of a fine of $2.5 million by Lucent for inviting Chinese officials to visit the United States for sightseeing in 2007, and 200 views from Haitong Securities that Siemens was accused of overseas bribery in eight years and agreed to pay a huge fine of $800million

in fact, most countries in Europe and the United States have established a relatively sound legal system for corporate bribery. The most famous case of corporate bribery in China recently is the Huang Guangyu case. In the judgment of Huang Guangyu, the crime of corporate bribery was among them. However, in addition, the punishment of bribery by companies is rarely seen in China
