FBI International Corruption Squads: What are they, and what do they do?
The FBI announced the formation of its International Corruption Squads almost two years ago, with Squads to be located in New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.
According to the FBI, the Squads would help the Bureau to combat both the supply and demand of corruption -- FCPA violations and Kleptocracy. The FBI anticipated that investigating one side of corruption could lead to information about the other and that creating Squads with both objectives would be more effective in achieving the overall goal of combating international corruption.
In pursuing leads, the Squads would have FBI tools at their disposal, including "financial analysis, court-authorized wiretaps, undercover operations, informants, and sources."
