Glencore PLC said Monday that it has reached an agreement with
the Democratic Republic of Congo over alleged acts of corruption
between 2007 and 2018, and will pay $180 million.
The FTSE 100-listed commodity mining and trading company said
the agreement covers all present and future claims including those
that have been under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department
and the DRC's National Financial Intelligence Unit and Ministry of
Justice.
"Glencore has actively promoted its ethics and compliance
program in the DRC in recent years and looks forward to continuing
to work with the DRC authorities and other stakeholders to
facilitate good governance and ethical business practices in the
country," Chairman Kalidas Madhavpeddi said.
