In Their Own Words… Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti
By the Constantine Cannon Whistleblower Team
Speech Highlights
“My message is simple: A few months ago, I said we would focus on the work of holding white-collar criminals accountable, and we are doing just that. We are identifying, investigating, and prosecuting fraud and corruption, and we are doing so in an effective, focused, fair, and efficient manner. Most importantly, we are focused on protecting the interests of the American people.
As I look back on the past few months, and look to the rest of the year, let me focus on a few key priority areas for the Division: health care fraud, procurement fraud, market integrity, including crimes associated with Chinese variable interest entities, and foreign corruption.”1
Government Enforcement Priorities
During Galeotti’s speech at the Global Investigations Review Annual Meeting in New York, he delivered remarks highlighting enforcement priorities for the Criminal Division, recent case examples, and potential future actions.
This announcement is a strong indication that whistleblowers will be more important than ever in exposing fraud and sharing any information that could lead to successful enforcement actions.
