SEC Charges RAE Systems for Illegal Payments Made Through Joint Ventures to Win Chinese Government Contracts
On December 10, 2010, the SEC announced that it charged San Jose-based RAE Systems Inc. ("RAE") with violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") for making improper payments through two of its Chinese joint venture entities to Chinese officials in order to obtain significant government contracts for their gas and chemical detection products. According to the SEC's complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the company's $400,000 in improper payments resulted in contracts worth approximately $3 million in revenue and garnered more than $1.1 million in illicit profits. Without admitting or denying the allegations, RAE consented to the entry of a permanent injunction against FCPA violations and agreed to pay $1,147,800 in disgorgement and $109,212 in prejudgment interest. RAE also agreed to comply with certain undertakings regarding its FCPA compliance program. The settlement remains subject to court approval. In a related criminal case brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, RAE agreed to pay an additional $1.7 million criminal fine.
