DOJ wants less monitoring, more self-disclosure and fine reductions, Galeotti says
The Criminal Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ), continuing its aggressive, pro-business stance, has revamped key, white-collar crime enforcement policies, including clarifying fine reductions in its self-disclosure program and curbing its use of monitorships, Matthew Galeotti, head of DOJ’s criminal division, announced on Monday.
The DOJ is also reviewing its corporate whistle-blower awards program to bring it more in line with the priorities of the current administration, Galeotti said during the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association’s Anti-Money Laundering and Financial Crimes program, in Washington, D.C.
