WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department alleges two former executives for Cognizant Technology Solutions paid about $2 million in bribes to Indian officials to build an office campus in the country.
Corp. were charged by U.S. authorities with foreign bribery for allegedly approving illicit payments to help build a corporate campus in India. , the company’s former president, and Steven Schwartz, its former chief legal officer, authorized a $2 million bribe to at least one government official in India to secure permits necessary for the construction of an office campus there to support roughly 17,000 employees, prosecutors said. Cognizant has more than 250,000 employees globally, more than half of whom work in various locations in India .
The U.S. Department of Justice said the former president, Gordon Coburn, and the former chief legal officer, Steven Schwartz, were charged in a 12-count indictment with violating the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other offenses. According to the indictment, in 2014 Coburn and Schwartz allegedly authorized an unlawful payment of approximately $2 million to one or more government officials in India to secure and obtain a permit to build a new campus in the country.
"We are pleased to reach these resolutions with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. With today's announcements, we've taken a major step forward in putting this behind us," said Francisco D'Souza, Vice Chairman and CEO of Cognizant. "Further, we are gratified that both the DOJ and SEC recognized that we voluntarily and promptly notified U.S. authorities of the potential issues in India more than two years ago, and cooperated extensively with their investigations. We undertook a comprehensive internal investigation under the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, with the assistance of outside counsel.
U.S. authorities on Friday announced criminal charges against two former Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp officials for their roles in a bribery scheme in India, and said the company will pay $25 million to settle a related civil case. The U.S. Department of Justice said former president Gordon Coburn and former chief legal officer Steven Schwartz were charged in a 12-count indictment with violating the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other offenses. Cognizant's payment, which includes a $6 million fine, resolves a related case by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Securities and Exchange Commission settled charges on Friday with Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation and two of the company's former executives, who agreed to pay $25 million for alleged payment of millions of dollars in a bribe to an Indian government official in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The SEC's complaint alleges that in 2014, a senior government official of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu demanded a $2 million bribe from the construction firm responsible for building Cognizant's 2.7 million square foot campus in Chennai, India. Cognizant's President Gordon Coburn and Chief Legal Officer Steven E. Schwartz allegedly authorized the contractor to pay the bribe, and directed their subordinates to conceal the bribe by doctoring the contractor's change orders. Without admitting or denying the allegations, the company agreed to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest of approximately $19 million and a penalty of $6 million. The Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey also announced the indictment of Coburn and Schwartz on Friday on criminal charges of violating and conspiring to violate the FCPA's anti-bribery and accounting provisions.
Two former senior executives of Cognizant, the IT outsourcing company, have been indicted on foreign bribery charges, the US Department of Justice announced on Friday.
