Summary

Sojitz Corporation is a multinational general trading company based in Tokyo, Japan with offices in New York. Its stock is traded on the OTC Exchange.

According to a 2010 Department of Justice Motion to Intervene, the DOJ had begun a criminal investigation into whether Sojitz Corporation had engaged in conduct with respect to their commercial relationship with Aluminum Bahrain B.S.C. in alleged violation of the FCPA, among other criminal laws.

The Motion appears to be the only disclosed indication of FCPA investigation into Sojitz’ business dealing in Bahrain.
