The new DOJ Policy (see here for the NYTimes story that includes DOJ Policy) makes the current practice of corporations “throwing employees under the bus,” official. It states, “[t]o be eligible of any cooperation credit, corporations must provide to the Department all relevant facts about the individuals involved in corporate misconduct.” Corporations have received deferred and non-prosecution agreements (DPAs and NPAs) that often provide for the corporation cooperating with the government in the investigation of alleged criminally culpable individuals. Now it is clear that to obtain “any” cooperation credit it will be necessary to provide the evidence against these individuals.
