In 2023, an Australian mining company, Oz Minerals, which was being investigated by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) over alleged foreign bribery, agreed to confiscation orders to the value of at least AUD$9.3 million. Oz Minerals Ltd self-reported to the AFP that employees of Oxiana (Cambodia) Limited, a foreign subsidiary of Oxiana Limited that later became a part of the Oz Minerals group, may have bribed foreign officials to obtain gold and copper mining rights in Cambodia between November 2006 and October 2009. The company agreed to a payment of a pecuniary penalty of AUD$3.65 million and forfeiture of AUD$5.71 million received by the company pursuant to the sale agreement.
