Corsa Coal Corporation

Pursuant to the Criminal Division’s Voluntary Self-Disclosure and Corporate Enforcement Policy, on March 8, 2023, the Fraud Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania declined to prosecute Corsa Coal Corporation for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) because the company voluntarily self-disclosed the misconduct, cooperated with the government’s investigation, and timely and appropriately remediated.

As part of the agreement the company agreed to disgorge its profits earned from the illicit scheme, as modified by its ability to pay.

From approximately late 2016 until early 2020, certain of Corsa’s employees and agents engaged in a scheme to bribe Egyptian government officials in order to obtain and retain lucrative contracts to supply coal to Al Nasr Company for Coke and Chemicals, an Egyptian state-owned and -controlled coke company.
