The DOJ, FBI, and other enforcement partners have announced DOJ’s Procurement Collusion Strike Force to combat antitrust crimes in government procurement at a national level. How does the government detect and investigate these crimes and who are the prosecutors and FBI agents that work these cases? DOJ Strike Force Director Daniel Glad and Supervisory Special Agent Kelvin Ortiz join John Roberti and Wendy Huang Waszmer to discuss the government’s effort on a national level to combat collusion, antitrust crimes and related fraudulent schemes. Listen to this episode to learn more about the DOJ’s Strike Force and the crimes being investigated and prosecuted (and at the end, our guests’ best antitrust movie recommendations too!)
