In Latin America, the DOJ is focused on cartel activity and Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs), raising the stakes for companies operating in the region. During this panel, we explore:
- The real-life legal, compliance and supply chain impacts of the intensifying DOJ focus on cartels and TCOs
- The latest, most sophisticated techniques being used by cartels and TCOs operating across borders
- Adapting a more rigorous approach to due diligence, monitoring, and compliance to mitigate exposure to potential involvement in illegal activities
- Ensuring robust mechanisms are in place to identify and address risks related to corruption, antitrust violations, and criminal enterprises
- Keeping up with changing regulatory landscapes and enforcement trends in both the U.S. and Latin American jurisdictions
