ATM maker Diebold Inc. said Tuesday it had reached a tentative agreement with U.S. authorities to settle allegations it paid bribes to Russian officials.
Diebold said in its second quarter report it had reached an agreement in principle with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities in Exchange commission to pay $48 million in penalties to resolve allegations it violated an anti-bribery law.
A company spokesman declined to comment, as did a SEC spokeswoman. A Justice Department spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Diebold disclosed in July 2010 that it was investigating payments by its Russian subsidiary that may have been in breach of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits improper payments to foreign officials for a business advantage. In November 2010, the company fired its Russian leadership amid the probe.
The company said in January it had set aside roughly $18 million for the eventual resolution of the FCPA investigation, but increased that sum in Tuesday’s report. Diebold also said it had agreed to appoint an independent compliance monitor for a minimum period of 18 months under the terms of the pact.
