Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, Tom welcomes back Matt Ellis to discuss a newly announced FCPA enforcement action involving Scoular Company. The case invoiced about $400,000 in payments labeled as “reinspection fees” to Mexican customs and food inspectors to move agricultural goods across the Mexico–U.S. border. border, allegedly generating over $6.5 million in avoided costs and raising concerns about cartel-linked beneficiaries. They discuss why customs and customs brokers are recurring high-risk areas in Mexico, how long-running employee involvement suggests broader controls and tone-from-the-top failures, and why these payments are not facilitation payments under Mexican law and given discretionary official acts. Ellis emphasizes analytics on customs documents and broker invoices, stronger third-party diligence beyond traditional screening to address cartel/TCO risks, and defensible governance for WhatsApp/off-channel communications. Despite no voluntary self-disclosure, the company received cooperation credit and a 25% fine reduction, and Ellis previews an ACI conference focused on cartels, TCOs, and compliance in Latin America. Key highlights: Border Bribes and Safety Risks Controls Failures and Monitoring Data Analytics Red Flags Facilitation Payment Myth DOJ Cartel Warning and Implications Rethinking Due Diligence for Cartels WhatsApp and Messaging Governance Cooperation, Credit, and Remediation Resources: Cartels, TCOs and Compliance in Latin America, July 20-21 Matt Ellis on LinkedIn Tom Fox Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn The FCPA Compliance Report was recently named the world's best business ethics podcast by FeedSpot.

Located in the Papantla municipality of the Mexican state of Veracruz, El Tajín is a UNESCO World Heritage site but a lesser-known tourist destination and national symbol. The Indigenous Totonac residents of the region know well that the site's relative absence from discussions of global archaeology and heritage belies a century of wide-ranging labor, extractive industries, and commodity exchange.In the Shadow of El Tajín: The Political Economy of Archaeology in Modern Mexico (U Nebraska Press, 2025) tells the story of how a landscape of ancient mounds and ruins became an archaeological site, brings to light the network of actors who made it happen, and reveals the Indigenous histories silenced in the process. By drawing on the insights of Indigenous Totonac peoples who have lived and worked in El Tajín for more than a century, Sam Holley-Kline explores historical processes that made both the archaeological site and regional historical memory. In the Shadow of El Tajín decenters discussions of the state and tourism industry by focusing on the industries and workers who are integral to the functioning of the site but who have historically been overlooked by studies of the ancient past. Holley-Kline recovers local Indigenous histories in dialogue with broader trends in scholarship to demonstrate the rich recent past of El Tajín, a place better known for its ancient history.

Send us a textThere's a trail that runs from the Mexico-U.S. border north through California, Oregon and Washington, ending at the Canadian border. A grueling test of grit and endurance, it's no surprise those that attempt some or parts of the Pacific Crest Trail are changed. Long after blisters heal over, hammies stop aching, shins come back to normal, the stories of the trail linger in the minds of hikers. Is it the hours alone? Or the silence? Or the senses that become sharper watching for shifts in weather and wildlife? Or something else, like a hitchhiking ghost, that stays with them after leaving the PCT? The west coast of the United States is one I know well, like the back of my hand. But as I've been learning about trail angels, trail pirates, hitchhiking, and uncovered the people that have gone missing on this stretch of trail? It's become a place I don't recognize, that fascinates and scares me.Grab a Bobo bar and a glass of water!

The cooperation between the United States and Mexico in the war on drugs has been a complex and evolving partnership with both successes and challenges. Here is a summary of key points in this cooperation:Historical Context: The U.S. and Mexico have a long history of cooperation in addressing drug-related issues, dating back to the 1970s. The proximity of Mexico to the United States, a major consumer market for illegal drugs, has made this collaboration essential.Merida Initiative: In 2008, the United States launched the Merida Initiative, a multi-year aid program to support Mexico in its efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime. This initiative provided equipment, training, and technical assistance to Mexican law enforcement and security forces.Joint Operations: The two countries have engaged in various joint law enforcement operations to target drug cartels and dismantle drug trafficking networks. These operations have led to the capture of several high-profile drug traffickers.Information Sharing: Both nations have improved information sharing and intelligence cooperation to better understand and combat drug trafficking organizations. This includes sharing data on drug shipments, money laundering, and cartel activities.Legal Extradition: The U.S. and Mexico have an extradition treaty in place, allowing the transfer of criminals wanted in one country to face justice in the other. This has been used to extradite major drug lords and cartel leaders.Challenges and Tensions: Despite cooperation, there have been tensions in the relationship. Issues such as corruption within Mexican law enforcement, human rights abuses, and disputes over drug policy have strained cooperation at times.Shift in Focus: In recent years, there has been a shift in strategy, with a greater emphasis on addressing the root causes of drug trafficking and violence, such as poverty, lack of economic opportunities, and social inequality. Both countries have invested in development programs in Mexico's drug-producing regions.Legalization and Drug Policy: Differences in drug policies between the two nations have been a source of tension. While some U.S. states have legalized recreational and medical marijuana, Mexico has also been moving toward more liberal drug policies, including decriminalization.Ongoing Efforts: Cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico in the war on drugs remains ongoing. Both countries continue to work together on a range of issues, including interdiction efforts, intelligence sharing, and promoting regional security.According to a new DHS paper that was released, the United States is looking to expand their footprint in Mexico even more as the battle against fentanyl ramps up.(commercial at 6:57)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The United States seeks to ‘aggressively' expand its anti-fentanyl operations in Mexico | U.S. | EL PAÍS English (elpais.com)

On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump was inaugurated as president of the United States for a second term. Within an hour, CBP One, a program developed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow migrants to secure immigration appointments, was discontinued; migrants who accessed CBP One found that their appointments were canceled. That evening, he signed several executive orders relating to immigration, including blocking asylum seekers from entering the U.S., declaring a national emergency at the Mexico–U.S. border, and citing a public health risk posed by migrants through a lack of "comprehensive health information".

On the July, 2025 edition of the Art in Action interview series I highlight the work of artist and curator León De la Rosa-Carrillo who speaks on creating projects that address the persisting colonial dynamics and political imaginaries that surround the Mexico / U.S. colonial border line. In this interview León speaks on creating community based artistic spaces that address the ways that the borderline impacts Mexican artists and communities within the border region. León is a professor in the Art Department at Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez.

S3E34 - For the Glory KC is back with the 99th episode of the show! (Our 100th episode is next week, should we do something special?) Sporting Kansas City and the KC Cauldron put on a cool event this past week. Manager Peter Vermes (he joked several times, he's not the Sporting Director anymore) and CEO and President Jake Reid did a town hall with KC Cauldron members. I share just a couple of the many, many stories that he shared and questions that he answered. I would call it a 'must attend' event and if you are a member of the Cauldron, you should definitely go next year. And if you aren't a member, you should probably consider joining. I really enjoyed meeting people and all the information we got from the event was great and you aren't going to hear most of it elsewhere. We also got into a conversation about how Major League Soccer may change their transfer window dates. It seems like a real thing that may happen by 2025. Check out the reporting on it by Tom Bogert. Sheena and I also had to discuss the 1-1 draw between Sporting KC and the New York Red Bulls. It really felt like SKC were going to steal all three points after a very up and down first half. We get into the goals (including this fantastic Davis to Pulido number), the thin lineup and the bad refereeing. Speaking of bad officiating, we have to discuss that ridiculous second yellow/red card to Jake Davis. We also had to talk about the blown PK call where Shelton was cleaned out in the box, but the ref swallowed his whistle. It feels like the game could have been very different if not for some very inconsistent officiating. The KC Current played at the same time as Sporting KC and got back to their winning ways. They won a tight 1-0 game where the Utah Royals had a handful of really good chances, though the Current were clearly the better side. The game marked the return of Bia, another start for Almuth Schult and a different tactical look from Vlatko and company. In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few topics, including: Kayden Pierre is officially sold to Genk Stephen Afrifa gets a cap for Canada Debinha re-signs with the Current through 2026 with a 2027 option And the legend Alex Morgan retires Here is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times): Our USMNT experience in Kansas City - 2:15 Vermes/Jake Reid Town Hall - 11:24 Sporting KC tie the Red Bulls - 28:49 KC Current break their losing streak! - 51:41 Digital Crawl - 1:00:00 Upcoming Schedule: USWNT U-20s vs. Mexico (U-20 World Cup) - Wed.

When Miguel Leal and his co-founders launched the modern Mexican food brand Somos Foods in 2021, they believed they were introducing a “Goya for millennials.” It turns out that Somos was more suited to be a “Rao's for all consumers.” Miguel is the CEO of Somos Foods, which he founded with Kind Snacks founder Daniel Lubetzky and Rodrigo Zuloaga, who, like Miguel, is a former Kind executive. Somos markets clean ingredient “simmer sauces,” salsa, rice and beans produced in Mexico and made using traditional techniques, according to the brand. The products are distributed in over 11,000 retail doors, including Target, Publix, Whole Foods Market, Walmart and Albertsons. While the founders' original concept – to “re-envision Mexican cuisine in the U.S. with a focus on authenticity, convenience, and sustainability” – has remained consistent, the communication of that message has evolved. Somos is now positioned as a brand for “Mexican meal solutions.” Miguel says that the shift required the company to rethink nearly every aspect of the business, including marketing and product development. The undertaking was challenging and, at times, humbling for Miguel and his co-founders, each of whom have decades of experience in the food industry. In this episode, Miguel speaks about the genesis of Somos, how he and the team came to the realization that the brand needed to adjust its positioning, mistakes that, in hindsight, were avoidable, identifying areas for improvement in how the products tasted and were named, and how their timeline for an potential acquisition has changed significantly. Show notes: 0:35: Miguel Leal, Co-Founder & CEO, Somos Foods – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif visits with Miguel at Somos HQ in Stamford, Connecticut where the entrepreneur chats about the brand's new simmer sauces, his roots growing up on the Mexico/U.S. border and how his profession career is anchored in food marketing. He also explains how the creation of Somos came from he and his co-founders being “frustrated with the options at US grocery,” how they erred in trying to build the brand in a similar way to how Kind Snacks was built, why he compares Somos to Legos and the meaning behind its name. Miguel also discussed the company's emphasis on simple messaging and easy food prep for consumers, why he thought that at the outset that “in 3-5 years Somos could be a great acquisition target” and how he communicated the shift in strategy to the company's investors. Brands in this episode: Somos Foods, Kind Snacks, Cholula, Goya, Rao's
The cooperation between the United States and Mexico in the war on drugs has been a complex and evolving partnership with both successes and challenges. Here is a summary of key points in this cooperation:Historical Context: The U.S. and Mexico have a long history of cooperation in addressing drug-related issues, dating back to the 1970s. The proximity of Mexico to the United States, a major consumer market for illegal drugs, has made this collaboration essential.Merida Initiative: In 2008, the United States launched the Merida Initiative, a multi-year aid program to support Mexico in its efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime. This initiative provided equipment, training, and technical assistance to Mexican law enforcement and security forces.Joint Operations: The two countries have engaged in various joint law enforcement operations to target drug cartels and dismantle drug trafficking networks. These operations have led to the capture of several high-profile drug traffickers.Information Sharing: Both nations have improved information sharing and intelligence cooperation to better understand and combat drug trafficking organizations. This includes sharing data on drug shipments, money laundering, and cartel activities.Legal Extradition: The U.S. and Mexico have an extradition treaty in place, allowing the transfer of criminals wanted in one country to face justice in the other. This has been used to extradite major drug lords and cartel leaders.Challenges and Tensions: Despite cooperation, there have been tensions in the relationship. Issues such as corruption within Mexican law enforcement, human rights abuses, and disputes over drug policy have strained cooperation at times.Shift in Focus: In recent years, there has been a shift in strategy, with a greater emphasis on addressing the root causes of drug trafficking and violence, such as poverty, lack of economic opportunities, and social inequality. Both countries have invested in development programs in Mexico's drug-producing regions.Legalization and Drug Policy: Differences in drug policies between the two nations have been a source of tension. While some U.S. states have legalized recreational and medical marijuana, Mexico has also been moving toward more liberal drug policies, including decriminalization.Ongoing Efforts: Cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico in the war on drugs remains ongoing. Both countries continue to work together on a range of issues, including interdiction efforts, intelligence sharing, and promoting regional security.According to a new DHS paper that was released, the United States is looking to expand their footprint in Mexico even more as the battle against fentanyl ramps up.

The 21st century has witnessed a revolution in how historians approach the study of Roman Catholicism. Long trapped in an unbridgeable chasm between confessional scholars taking revealed truth as a point of departure & secular scholars ignoring the intellectual and experiential richness of religion, Catholicism has increasingly benefited from vibrant dialogues that are working to break down this divide, as scholars look beyond their local and national sites of research to think globally about this world-spanning religion. University of Notre Dame scholar Jaime Pensado is at the forefront of the work of recasting Catholicism as a truly global object of inquiry, as evidenced by his most recent work Love and Despair: How Catholic Activism Shaped Politics and the Counterculture in Modern Mexico (University of California Press, 2023). In my conversation with Pensado, we explored some of the greatest intellectual boons of the global turn for the study of what he has called “the Catholic Sixties,” as well as persistent blind spots and crucial considerations for future research. Piotr H. Kosicki is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Catholics on the Barricades (Yale, 2018) and editor, among others, of Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century (with Wolfram Kaiser). His most recent writings appeared in The Atlantic and in Foreign Affairs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Love and Despair: How Catholic Activism Shaped Politics and the Counterculture in Modern Mexico (U California Press, 2023) explores the multiple and mostly unknown ways progressive and conservative Catholic actors, such as priests, lay activists, journalists, intellectuals, and filmmakers, responded to the significant social and cultural shifts that formed competing notions of modernity in Cold War Mexico. Jaime M. Pensado demonstrates how the Catholic Church as a heterogeneous institution--with key transnational networks in Latin America and Western Europe--was invested in youth activism, state repression, and the counterculture from the postwar period to the more radical Sixties. Similar to their secular counterparts, progressive Catholics often saw themselves as revolutionary actors and nearly always framed their activism as an act of love. When their movements were repressed and their ideas were co-opted, marginalized, and commercialized at the end of the Sixties, the liberating hope of love often turned into a sense of despair.
