Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Price-Lo may be subject to similar charges for the same acts in other countries. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is a U.S. law that prohibits the bribery of foreign government officials. However, other countries also have similar laws and may pursue charges against Price-Lo for the same acts of bribery. In fact, many countries have their own anticorruption laws and cooperate with the U.S. Department of Justice in enforcing the FCPA. Therefore, Price-Lo may face charges in other countries for violating their anticorruption laws.
