On 4 March 2013, 112 Redflex Holdings announced a summary of its four-month long, independent, internal investigation into its subsidiary’s (RTSI) Chicago contract and associated matters and announced the departure of several US employees for violating company policies and the adoption of enhanced compliance activities, concluding that some of the activities “would likely be considered bribery by the authorities”.
Today, the US Department of Justice arrested John Bills, a former employee of the City of Chicago, for alleged bribery relating to the Chicago contract. The company’s subsidiary was not criminally charged in connection with this arrest.
In response, Redflex stated: "Last year we publicly released the findings of our internal investigation into the conduct of several former employees and announced new leadership, new policies and a line between our past and today's Redflex. As promised, we also fully cooperated with the authorities. We did what a responsible company should do and we are pleased that our internal investigation contributed to the government’s legal action."
The company continues to cooperate with authorities as requested.
Since releasing the summary of its internal investigation more than a year ago, Redflex has signed or renewed over 100 contracts with communities across the United States.
