By: FEDweek StaffIn an annual report that underscores that violations of federal workplace conflicts of interest policies carry potential criminal consequences as well as career consequences, the Office of Government Ethics has found that 10 such cases brought by the Justice Department against federal employees were resolved either through a judicial judgment or a settlement in 2022, the same number as in 2021.
“The survey highlights how the Department of Justice enforces the criminal conflict of interest laws, and is a useful resource ethics officials can use to educate employees about how these laws apply in real-world situations,” said the OGE.
The cases involved charges of bribery, false statements, acts affecting a personal financial interest, violating post-government employment restrictions, and conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States.
Penalties included imprisonment, supervised release, probation and fines.
