As part of the pact with the U.S. Justice, Treasury and Commerce departments, federal prosecutors also agreed not to pursue criminal charges against the company. The case against SAP marks the first time a company has taken advantage of a Justice Department policy that gives companies a path to avoid prosecution for unlawfully exporting goods to sanctioned countries, businesses or individuals by self-reporting them to the U.S. government.

In order to win credit for cooperation, the company must report the alleged misconduct "prior to an imminent threat of disclosure or government investigation" and disclose "all relevant facts," including the identities of any individuals responsible for the crimes.According to prosecutors, the company engaged in thousands of illegal exports of software over at least seven years.
