On July 3, 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported the U.S. Justice Department demanded Glencore plc hand over records related to the Company’s compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and laws against money laundering.  The DOJ subpoena reportedly spans 2007 to the present and covers Glencore’s business in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Venezuela.

This news drove the price of Glencore securities sharply downward on heavy volume.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses, whether the Company and senior executives violated the FCPA and, if so, the extent to which they may have misled investors,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
