Colombia's Avianca Holdings (Airline) notified the US DOJ and SEC that their own internal investigators are looking into possible past bribery by their employees to government officials of several countries.
They said that employees, which may have included Avianca's Senior Management and some Board Members, gave away free tickets and upgrades to government officials, though did not specify to which officials from which countries.
Looks to me like they're self reporting and will turn over receipts to try to avoid action against the company itself.
Avianca confirmed that the giveaways were travel perks, but they also left open the possibility "that other things of value were also given." If the company itself is saying this, I'll bet there's more to it. Maybe they just can't prove it yet.

Here is who introduced the bill yesterday.
Colorado Senator Bennet and Vermont Senator Welch, once again under the guise of public safety.
This was horrific but was it really intentional or was he trying to avoid the other car that pulled out into the road? It’s hard to tell from this. It seemed like he was driving pretty fast, what’s the speed limit there?
Police investigating if the suspect was impaired, though that would be SOP. I assume they’ll also investigate whether the other car that pulled out was a contributing factor. Suspect still seemed to be driving awfully fast.
The suspect may have blown through a red light, but I can’t tell what color the light was. It took several seconds after the other car turned onto that road for the suspect’s car to appear.
So far, he’s been charged with reckless driving, but police are still investigating.

One of Senator Rand Paul’s staffers was brutally attacked and stabbed in DC. Sending prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻.
According to a witness who was with the staffer, the attacker was hiding in a corner somewhere & jumped out & attacked the staffer as the witness & staffer walked by.
