Justice Manual § 5-11.115
"Global Settlements"
Without the express approval of the Assistant Attorney General of ENRD, in any criminal case arising under the statutes identified in JM 5-11.101 no plea agreement will be negotiated which compromises the right of the United States to any civil or administrative remedies under those statutes. Efforts by defendants to effect such results may arise in the context of so-called "global settlement" offers. See ENRD Directive No. 2016-11 (Dec. 20, 2016).

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
