Is the FCPA penalty limited to corporations?

No. In addition to corporations, the U.S. authorities also actively prosecute individuals for FCPA violations in connection with bribes paid in China. In 2009, Richard Morlok, the former finance director of CCI, and Mario Covino, former director of the company's worldwide sales, pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe officials at state-owned gas, oil, and power companies in China, South Korea, and other markets around the globe.113 Morlok and Covino are merely two of the CCI executives targeted by the government, as six other CCI executives, including Hong Carson, former director of sales for China and Taiwan, were charged with bribery in April 2009.
