Integrating this route into the DPA process will not be without its problems. The Goodyear indication would necessarily occur in the discussions between the parties. If the company is not satisfied with the advice given and decides that it is best to raise the drawbridge on the discussions, it is possible that the SFO already has a sufficient route map to conduct a full criminal investigation and prosecution itself (discussed below). Perhaps a better way to create a higher level of security would be to issue clear criminal guidelines similar to those in the United States, where a points-based system allows companies to assess in advance the likely amount of the penalty applied there. This option can give those who are being pursued a second chance and hope for the future.
