Hi everyone,
I have a question about the FCPA. The FCPA prohibits payments to foreign government officials in order to influence a governmental decision. I know about the "rountine governmental action" exception. But what if the payment is legal under local law? Is the FCPA violated then?
I am getting conflicting answers to this question from a textbook and other sources, and would appreciate your help! (I teach the topic tonight)
Thanks,
Robert
