Corruption investigations have been big news for the past 10 years. In 2007, when Baker Hughes, the oil field service company, pled guilty and paid a fine of US$44 million to settle Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) charges brought by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it was a shock. Today, it might be seen as getting off lightly – it does not even make the top 10 cases by size of fine.
