Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

U.S. businesses that break laws while operating in foreign countries are subject to full prosecution, fines, and imprisonment in those countries. They are not immune under the act of state doctrine, which is a legal principle that says that a nation is sovereign within its own borders, and courts of one country cannot sit in judgment on the acts of the government of another country. Additionally, they cannot be prosecuted in the U.S. for the same offense under the principle of double jeopardy.
