A French bus parts supplier will pay more than $2.4 million in penalties, disgorgement, and restitution to settle charges that it fraudulently misled its U.S. customers about the source of some of its parts.
As part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ), announced Monday in a press release, CBM will pay a fine of $1.5 million, disgorgement of approximately $463,000, and nearly $440,000 in restitution.
The CBM agreed to a two-year non-prosecution agreement (NPA) that requires it to self-report any future violations and “continue in its efforts to implement and maintain an adequate compliance program,” the agency said. The DOJ noted it will prosecute any newly discovered misconduct as well as misconduct covered by the NPA.
