司法部鼓励企业自曝, 以免被起诉如果公司完全合作,补救和披露政府调查之前. DOJ encourages corporate self-disclosure to avoid prosecution if companies fully cooperate, remediate, and disclose before government probes.

美国司法部推出了首个全部门的企业执法政策,鼓励公司自愿自行披露不当行为. The U.S. Department of Justice has introduced its first-ever department-wide Corporate Enforcement Policy to encourage companies to voluntarily self-disclose misconduct. 根据新框架,司法部通常拒绝起诉那些与调查充分合作的公司,及时纠正违法行为,并在政府即将进行调查之前自愿披露问题, 只要没有加重因素存在. Under the new framework, the DOJ generally declines to prosecute companies that fully cooperate with investigations, timely remediate wrongdoing, and voluntarily disclose issues before an imminent government probe, provided no aggravating factors exist. 如果存在加重因素,司法部仍可提供非起诉协议,减少罚款和不监督合规性,尽管该政策适用于除反断违法外的所有刑事案件. If aggravating factors are present, the DOJ may still offer non-prosecution agreements, reduced fines, and no compliance monitor, though the policy applies to all criminal matters except antitrust violations.
