Rangecourt SA (formerly Banque Havilland SA) & others v The Financial Conduct Authority

Financial Services analysis: The Upper Tribunal upheld the bulk of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)’s findings against Rangecourt SA (formerly Banque Havilland SA), its former CEO Edmund Rowland, and a former employee in relation to a 2017 document proposing a strategy designed to destabilise the Qatari Riyal. The Tribunal agreed that the document produced was improper and amounted to serious misconduct. However, it took a materially different view from the FCA on sanctions, most notably in its assessment of the mitigating factors. The Tribunal found that the Bank had demonstrated significant co-operation post-breach, including voluntarily disclosing the ‘Project Gulf’ internal investigation report, instructing external lawyers and PwC to investigate at considerable expense, and the termination/resignation of relevant staff. The Tribunal concluded that this conduct had materially assisted the regulatory process and a reduction to the penalty was therefore appropriate. The decision clarifies when co operation attracts a reduction in penalty and places clarification on how ‘exceptional co operation’ should be understood in the context of enforcement proceedings. Written by Lucy Tolond, partner and Lauren Maddock, solicitor at DWF Law LLP.

New foreign bribery guide can help international companies identify risks

Law360, Expert analysis: On 19 December 2025, the International Foreign Bribery Taskforce (IFBT) released its first-ever 'Indicators of Foreign Bribery' guidance, intended to help organisations in high-risk sectors and the broader business community. It should also help the public detect and address foreign bribery risks. According to the analysis, with contributions from Mark Mendelsohn, partner, Benjamin Klein, counsel and Claire Lisker, law clerk all at Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison LLP, the indicators themselves do not substantively redefine the foreign bribery offence and will be familiar to many compliance professionals. However, the guidance represents an additional step toward international standardisation of corruption risk assessment and provides a structured framework that companies can use to benchmark and strengthen their compliance programmes.
