Alstom has agreed to pay
$772m (£494m) in criminal penalties to settle bribery related charges
with the US Department of Justice.
It is the largest ever US criminal fine for violations of foreign bribery laws.
The DOJ said Alstom paid more than $75m to secure $4bn in projects around the world.
The DOJ's deputy attorney general, James Cole, said he wanted the fine to serve as a warning to other firms
It called the scheme "astounding in its breadth, its brazenness and its worldwide consequences".
