India, March 11 -- The Department of Justice has released the first-ever Department-wide corporate enforcement policy for criminal matters, promoting uniformity, predictability, and fairness in how it pursues white-collar cases to protect the public.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the policy creates incentives for companies to self-disclose wrongdoing, cooperate with the Justice Department's investigations and remediate the misconduct. "But for those that do not, make no mistake - we will not hesitate to seek appropriate resolutions against companies and individuals alike that perpetrate white collar offenses that harm American interests," he added.
