New Fraud Section Chief Talks Corporate Compliance
After nearly nine years in the private sector, Glenn Leon returned to the U.S. Department of Justice to take over a section that has grown both in staff and in stature as it pursues some of the government's biggest white-collar cases.
The criminal fraud section in recent years has taken on an outsized importance in the DOJ's efforts to confront corporate crime, striking high-dollar resolutions with major corporations over violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and investigating complex schemes involving health care, securities and procurement fraud.
It's grown to about 180 attorneys, up from roughly 125 in 2015. Leon, who started last month as chief of the section, said when he sat in recently on a meeting with the FCPA unit, he struggled to find an open seat, illustrating how much had changed since he left his post as deputy chief in 2014.
