On April 7^th, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a Memorandum  on the creation of the National Fraud Enforcement Division within the U.S. Department of Justice.  On March 10^th, 2026, DOJ also issued a department-wide Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy establishing a new comprehensive and uniform policy on how the Department will handle corporate criminal cases.

These developments signify a major realignment of resources and shift in Department priorities that will impact future interactions with the Department in several areas, including allegations of health care fraud, tax fraud, corporate fraud, consumer fraud, and securities fraud. This realignment is expected to generate new complex and high-profile investigations and criminal prosecutions.  If you or your organization requires guidance in connection with a pending federal fraud matter or have questions regarding these developments, please contact any of the attorneys in MBK’s White Collar Criminal Defense and Investigations Practice Group .
