WASHINGTON (Reuters), – Thursday’s U.S. Justice Department announcement outlined a set of policy changes that aim to root out corporate misconduct in the future and prioritize individual prosecutions. It signals a change towards white collar crime.

At an industry conference Lisa Monaco, the Deputy Attorney General stated that she will reinstate guidance and require companies to submit full lists of all people who were involved in misconduct to be eligible for credit from prosecutors.

Monaco stated in prepared remarks that Justice Department officials “will exhort prosecutors to hold accountable those who have committed criminal conduct.”

Monaco’s comments indicated that President Joe Biden had changed the department’s attitude toward white collar crimes. Donald Trump was the predecessor to Biden. The government sought to improve cooperation, and was more accommodating to corporate criminality.

Monaco stated that the department would require prosecutors in any investigation of wrongdoing to look at a company’s entire criminal, civil, and regulatory records. Monaco said that the previous department had focused on similar misconduct in weighing settlements.

Monaco stated that the department is reviewing data regarding corporate resolutions to better understand when to use them. In exchange for promises and a fine, Monaco agreed not to prosecute any company.

Monaco stated that the department would not shift from corporate monitors in its past, which was a cost-prohibitive aspect of many cases between companies and prosecutors. Monaco stated that it will examine ways to “surge resource” for corporate misconduct issues. This will include embedding a squad of FBI agents within the Criminal Fraud section, which will be charged with investigating economic crimes.
