Bilfinger SE (Bilfinger) is a leading international engineering
and services group (Bilfinger.com, 2015), and was a local
sponsor of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The company is accused
of paying bribes through its subsidiary company, Mauell, (dw.
com, 2015) to public officials in Brazil for contracts related to
the 2014 World Cup (Cassin, 2015). The corruption allegations
relate to orders to equip security command centers at twelve
host cities during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil (dw.com,
2015). Because Brazil hosted the 2014 FIFA World Cup and
will host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, companies need
to consider the risks of many international anti-corruption laws,
such as Brazil’s anti-corruption law commonly referred as The
Clean Companies Act and other applicable anticorruption law
like the United States’ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (Rogers,
et. al, 2014). This paper will analyze the Bilfinger case involving
corruption activity at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and offer insights
for sponsors of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
