The investigation by a law firm focuses on whether a series of statements by Glencore Plc regarding its business, its prospects and its operations were materially false and misleading at the time they were made.

Switzerland based Glencore plc engages in the production, refinement, processing, storage, transport and marketing of metals and minerals, energy products, and agricultural products worldwide. On July 3, 2018, Glencore Plc disclosed on July 3, 2018, that the U.S. Department of Justice issued a subpoena to a subsidiary of the Company to produce records and other documentation regarding compliance with money laundering statutes and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

On July 9, 2018, a lawsuit was filed against Glencore Plc (OTC: GLCNF, GLNCY), over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws. The plaintiff claimed that between September 30, 2016 and July 2, 2018, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Glencore's conduct would subject it to heightened scrutiny by U.S. and foreign government bodies resulting in investigations into the company's compliance with money laundering and bribery laws, as well as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and that as a result, defendants' statements about Glencore's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On December 5, 2018, it was reported that Glencore Plc and other trading firms paid over $30 million in bribes to employees of state-owned oil company Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras in a graft scheme that Brazilian prosecutors believe may still be ongoing. As part of the scheme, Petrobras employees offered the trading companies lower prices for oil, derivatives, and storage tanks, then shared in the savings. According to the article, top executives of the companies had "total and unequivocal" knowledge of the graft scheme.
