    U.K. Law on Bribes Has Firms in a Sweat

    The link probably requires WSJ subscription. 

     

    Eye-catching summary quote:

     

    ""There are a lot of people saying this is the FCPA on steroids," says Mark Mendelsohn, a Washington lawyer who oversaw FCPA  prosecutions at the U.S. Justice Department from 2005 until earlier this year. Mr. Mendelsohn is now a partner at corporate-defense firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP."

    It's hard to imagine anyone actually being sued for grease payments
