GENERAL CABLE NOTIFICATION: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In General Cable Corp. To Contact The Firm

NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at General Cable Corp. ("General Cable" or the "Company") (NYSE: BGC).

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that the Company might have engaged in activities in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 ("FCPA").

Specifically, on December 29, 2016, General Cable announced that it had agreed to pay a criminal penalty of over $20 million to resolve the Department of Justice's investigation of inappropriate payments to government officials in Egypt, Angola, Bangladesh, China, Indonesia and Thailand.  According to the Department of Justice, "General Cable subsidiaries paid approximately $13 million to third-party agents and distributors, a portion of which was used to make unlawful payments to obtain business, ultimately netting the company approximately $51 million in profits."  The Company will also give up or disgorge profits of about $51.2 million and pay a $4.1 million in interest.
