Leon in the District of Columbia, Daimler AG and one of its subsidiaries entered into deferred prosecutions and agreed to the filing of criminal informations charging the companies with one count of conspiracy to violate the books and records provisions of the FCPA and one count of violating those provisions. Two other subsidiaries pleaded guilty to criminal informations, charging the companies with one count of conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA and one count of violating those provisions.
