Barak Cohen was quoted in the Law360 article, "Sessions Hints Yates Memo, Fraud To Stay On DOJ Radar," regarding U.S. attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions' suggestion that his Department of Justice would follow the Yates Memo's mandate to pursue individuals in corporate cases as well as continue a record-breaking False Claims Act enforcement streak under the new administration.
Barak welcomed increased transparency, saying that while the aims of the law are laudable the way it is carried out can be problematic. "Enforcement of the FCA often becomes almost an exercise in extortion where the government engages in a long investigation that virtually forces companies to pay their way out through fines," Cohen said.
