As to the first quote, you’re omitting the very next sentence: “While the draft report stated that the transactions reviewed were reasonably appropriate, complied with documentation and classification standards, and were compliant with local policies, legislation and generally accepted accounting principles, it also described “unusual” and “facilitating” payments made in connection with Mexico Subsidiary’s use of gestores.”

Note that the SEC filing specifically quotes the term “facilitating.” “Facilitating” payments—paying officials to do a non-discretionary duty faster—is not illegal under the FCPA. Bribery under the FCPA only includes payments to induce officials to exercise discretion in your favor.
