The corruption runs deep with this one

 

Wilmer's Ron Machen Negotiated Panasonic's $280M Foreign-Bribery Penalties [a 20% discount from the low end of the potential penalty]

 

A team from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr represented a Panasonic Corp. subsidiary as the company worked to resolve alleged violations of federal anti-corruption law, a negotiation that resulted Monday in settlements with the U.S. Justice Department and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission totaling $280 million.

 

Wilmer partner Ronald Machen, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, served as lead defense counsel for Panasonic Avionics Corp. a supplier of in-flight entertainment and communications systems, which agreed to pay a $137.4 million penalty as part of a deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department.

 

Partner Matthew Jones, also on Panasonic’s team, was formerly chief counsel to Machen at the U.S. attorney’s office. Machen and Jones were not immediately reached for comment Monday about the penalties under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
