Canada’s first trial under the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (CFPOA) concluded with a conviction on Aug. 15, 2013. Justice Hackland of the Ontario Superior Court found Nazir Karigar, a Canadian businessman, guilty of agreeing with others to offer a bribe to an Air India official and another Indian government official, in violation of the CFPOA. Although three companies have previously pleaded guilty under the CFPOA, this is the first case to go to trial and the first conviction of an individual under the CFPOA.
