The FBI is investigating whether or not News Corp. violated a law barring American companies from making corrupt payments to foreign officials, Reuters reports.

Some News Corp. executives, such as former News International CEO Rebekah Brooks, have said that the company has paid police for information. (Brooks later said that her words had been misconstrued.) British police have also been conducting an ongoing probe, called Operation Elveden, into whether there have been any illegal payments by News Corp. journalists to police officers. There have been multiple arrests in the probe.

The penalties for violating the FCPA are stiff; Reuters reports that, if convicted, News. Corp could be hit with a $2 million fine and banned from government contracts. Any individuals who are found guilty could face a $100,000 fine and a five-year prison sentence.

The FBI has not reportedly found any evidence thus far of earlier reports that News Corp. journalists hacked the phones of 9/11 victims.
