On August 1, 2024, DOJ issued its Whistleblower Policy Pilot Program (“WRPP”).  The new program amends its Corporate Enforcement Policy.  DOJ also issued a Program Guidance document, a Fact Sheet, Frequently Asked Questions and a dedicated website.

The WRPP will run for three years.  The Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section (“MLARS”) is administering the WRPP.  The WRPP will reward individuals who provide “original information” in writing that results in criminal or civil forfeiture exceeding $1 million in net proceeds from a successful prosecution, corporate criminal resolution or civil forfeiture action involving foreign corruption, domestic bribery, crimes involving financial institutions and healthcare fraud related to private insurance.
