With its $152.6 million FCPA enforcement action Tuesday, Weatherford International has landed ninth on our list of the Top 10 FCPA cases of all time.
Nine of the ten biggest cases still involve non-U.S. companies.
Dropping off the list is Magyar Telekom / Deutsche Telekom (Hungary /Germany) and their $95 million joint settlement in 2011.

WFT should at least get and asterisk as being a Swiss company. Although the ultimate parent is incorporated in Switzerland, its operating headquarters is in Houston; for all practical purposes, it is a US company.
