DOJ Promises NPAs to Certain Individuals Through New Voluntary Self-Disclosure Pilot Program
On April 15, 2024, the Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) Nicole Argentieri announced a new Pilot Program on Voluntary Self-Disclosure for Individuals (“Pilot Program” or “Program”).
