    Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Alert Latin America Anti-Bribery Year-In-Review: 2019 Developments and Predictions for 2020

    February 28, 2020 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Alert Latin America Anti-Bribery Year-in-Review: 2019 Developments and Predictions for 2020 By Tico Almeida, Lillian Howard Potter, and John F. Walsh1 I. INTRODUCTION Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement activity reached new heights in 2019. Corporate penalties paid to US enforcement agencies topped last year’s record levels, and individuals were charged at a pace matching last year’s near-record level.2 As discussed in detail below, Latin American citizens from Ecuador to Venezuela have recently found themselves facing criminal anti-corruption charges in federal courts in the US. These trends are critically important both to Latin American companies and to US companies doing business in Latin America. As recent enforcement trends show, foreign companies are a perennial target of US enforcement agencies. Nine of the top 10 all-time largest FCPA enforcement actions have been brought against companies based outside the US, including several Brazilian companies. Similarly, US companies with operations in Latin America have good reason to ensure that they have strong anti-corruption controls in place because, as discussed below, US enforcement agencies are investigating corruption by US companies operating across the region, from Mexico to Peru. This alert summarizes key Latin America 2019 anti-bribery enforcement developments and concludes with predictions for 2020. For a comprehensive global review of enforcement and policy developments, please refer to WilmerHale’s FCPA Alert: Global Anti-Bribery Year-in-Review for 2019. II.

    Lower for Longer: Years of Low Prices Rewrite Foreign Investment in South American Oil and Gas

    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS JULY 2018 LATIN AMERICA LOWER FOR LONGER: YEARS OF LOW PRICES REWRITE FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN SOUTH AMERICAN OIL AND GAS SAMANTHA GROSS LOWER FOR LONGER: YEARS OF LOW PRICES REWRITE FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN SOUTH AMERICAN OIL AND GAS SAMANTHA GROSS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Oil prices have been on a wild ride for the last decade—very high from 2008 through 2014, followed by a crash from 2015 to 2017. One might think that very high oil prices are always a boon for the industry. However, high oil prices increase the competition for resources and can bring about unproductive behavior on the part of resource holders. Resource nationalism is a particular challenge—the desire to maximize government take from oil and gas development can stifle foreign investment and reduce governments’ overall oil and gas income. Several countries in South America demonstrate how government policy and foreign investment can interact with an extreme price environment. Argentina and Brazil largely missed the boat during the price boom, with resource nationalism and political uncertainty primarily to blame. The political winds have shifted along with falling prices, and policies more favorable to foreign investment are bringing greater development of the world-class oil and gas resources in these two countries. Colombia followed a different path. Its business-friendly policies made it a darling of the industry during the boom years, but its smaller resource base has made it less attractive when prices are lower. Additionally, community resistance to oil and gas development grew during the boom years and laws governing community engagement have been strengthened.

    The Week in Review

    04/17/2015 PLM01026042015 The Week in Review On the Economic Front Petrobras to Sell Sub-Salt Blocks According to Valor Economico, the Petrobras divestment plan may include sale of some sub-salt oil fields that could raise up to US$13.7 billion by 2016. Petrobras had said previously that divestments in exploration and production could account for roughly 30% of the total value to be raised in the plan. The company decided to include high-quality blocks in the package to make it more attractive to investors, which could be purchased individually. The sales process is starting now, with the opening of information to interested investors, Valor added. On the Political Front Irregular Accounting On Wednesday, the Ministers of the Federal Court of Accounts (Tribunal de Contas da União - TCU) approved a report which concluded that the Rousseff Administration had inappropriately postponed financial transfers routinely made from the National Treasury to the public banks (Banco do Brazil, Caixa Econômica, and BNDES) with the intent of showing artificially high public account balances. Delays in transfers occurred in social expenditure, labor, and social security accounts. The Executive Branch withheld the payments to banks to record reduced government spending so as to increase the public account balances and demonstrate an artificially improved chance of meeting the government’s primary surplus target. This operation was formally ruled “irregular” by the TCU because it compromises the government fiscal credibility. As the TCU only releases administrative reports, the general public prosecutor will be responsible for investigating and determining if these fiscal actions are criminal.

    Workingpaper Workingpaper # 96 •Julio 2008 and Dynamicallyinterrelated

    LATIN AMERICAN TRADE NETWORK (LATN) La Red L atinoamericana de Política Comercial apoyada por el IDRC (Canadá) Winning at the WTO: The Development of a Trade Policy Community within Brazil Gregory Shaffer, Michelle Ratton Sanchez, and Barbara Rosenberg* This paper responds to two sets of interrelated questions: what effects has the international trade law system had within Brazil; and how, in turn, have public and private actors within Brazil attempted to deploy and shape this system? It builds on and complements earlier work which addressed the WTO’s impact in the United States and European Union. The paper’s point of entry is an examination of what lies behind Brazil’s engagement with the WTO system, including in negotiation, litigation and ad hoc bargaining. It assesses how the WTO legal regime has catalyzed a competition for trade-related expertise within the country, affecting its national administration and government-business-civil society relations regarding international trade policy and dispute settlement. In turn, the paper depicts the strategies that Brazilian public and private actors have adopted to deploy and shape this very international process. Finally, the paper aims to show how these national and international processes are reciprocally and dynamically interrelated. PAPER • workingPaper # 96 Julio 2008 * Gregory Shaffer is the James L.
