Princess Cruise Lines Ltd. and its parent company
Carnival Cruise Lines & plc will pay a
$20 million criminal penalty for violating its probation resulting from a
2017 criminal proceeding in which the companies paid a $40 million penalty. The companies were subject to ongoing compliance monitoring as a result of the earlier proceeding, and that monitoring detected numerous ongoing violations. Defendants admitted to failing to implement an effective compliance program, seeking to evade their compliance obligations, falsifying records, and illegally discharging waste.
