   On Thursday, the Federal Trade Commission adopted a new "Criminal   
   Referral and Partnership Process"policy statement signalling to   
   industry that it intends to refer companies and their executives to   
   criminal authorities for prosecution when the FTC believes that they   
   have engaged in criminal conduct.(1)   
      
   FTC Chair Lina M. Khan said, "At a time when major corporate   
   lawbreakers can treat civil fines as a cost of doing business,   
   government authorities must ensure that criminal conduct is followed   
   by criminal punishment. Today the FTC is redoubling its commitment and   
   improving its processes to expeditiously refer criminal behavior to   
   criminal authorities, promoting accountability and deterrence."
