Guralp Sytems Ltd
The SFO launched an investigation into suspected corruption by Guralp Systems Ltd in 2015.
On 22 October 2019, the SFO and G眉ralp Systems Ltd finalised a Deferred Prosecution Agreement, under which G眉ralp Systems Ltd accepts the charges of conspiracy to make corrupt payments and failure to prevent bribery and agreed to pay a total of 拢2,069,861.
On 21 November 2024, we informed the court that we believe the terms of this DPA have been breached. We have requested a hearing at Southwark Crown Court (sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice) to take the matter forward.
