Justice Manual § 7-3.420
Individual Accountability
Individual criminal sanctions, including prison sentences, are the single most effective deterrent to antitrust offenses. The Antitrust Division therefore prioritizes holding culpable executives and employees accountable, particularly high-level corporate officers responsible for corporate misconduct. See JM 9-28.210. The Antitrust Division typically seeks terms of imprisonment for those convicted of antitrust crimes. See JM 7-3.500.
