JUSTICE DEPARTMENT STATEMENT REGARDING ANTITRUST DIVISION'S CORPORATE LENIENCY PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, D.C. — "All companies that apply to the Corporate Leniency Program must meet certain requirements and make accurate representations to the Division. Corporate applicants are accepted on a conditional basis. As part of its enforcement efforts, throughout the investigation, the Division verifies the representations of the corporate leniency applicant. At any time throughout the process, the Division may expel an applicant after concluding that a company has made false representations to the Division or has otherwise not fully complied with the leniency policy requirements."
