MIAMI, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The Department of Justice introduction of the "whistleblower bounty" is further evidence of the increasingly aggressive position the government is taking towards enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Under the provision, whistleblowers are eligible to recover between 10 and 30 percent of any settlement that exceeds $1 million based on the significance of information and level of cooperation provided.
