Complaint
On September 24, 2012, the SEC filed a civil complaint against Tyco International Ltd. According to the complaint: "This matter concerns violations by Tyco International Ltd. ('Tyco') of the books and records, internal controls, and anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ('FCPA').... The FCPA misconduct [voluntarily] reported by Tyco showed that Tyco's books and records were misstated as a result of at least twelve different, post-injunction illicit payment schemes occurring at Tyco subsidiaries across the globe. The schemes frequently entailed illicit payments to foreign officials that were inaccurately recorded so as to conceal the nature of the payments." Countries where alleged FCPA violations took place include: Turkey, China, Croatia, India, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Mauritania, the Congo, Niger, Madagascar, Thailand, Malaysia, Egypt, and Poland.
