On July 17th, the DOJ announced an FCPA enforcement action against The Scoular Company based on alleged bribery scheme in Mexico. (See here for the prior post).
The criminal information charging the company with conspiracy to violate the FCPA’s anti-bribery provisions has been in the public domain since the announcement (although some uniformed commentators continue to suggest that it is not); however the deferred prosecution agreement is not publicly available on the court docket.
According to a knowledgeable source, the DPA “should be” available, but it still isn’t perhaps due to an oversight, technology issue, link issue with the electronic docket.
For instance, the docket currently shows:
PRETRIAL DIVERSION/DEFERRAL OF PROSECUTION entered as to The Scoular Company (Attachments: # 1 Attachments A-F)(dt) (Main Document 14 replaced on 7/23/2026) (ep1). (Attachment 1 replaced on 7/23/2026) (ep1). (Entered: 07/17/2026)
But upon clicking on the actual linked document one gets the following notation:
“You do not have permission to view this document.”
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
