I have dennounced DOJ a supossed bribery scheme at LATAM and they cannot provide me information about investigations, or even whether investigations were initiated. According to them, if there were to be an investigation, and if it were to result in a public disposition or trial, I would certainly be entitled to the public documents relating to the case, but I have not idea How I can get it.

Whether they pay it themselves, or through intermediaries and regardless of the form these payments take (such as "consulting" fees or sales "commission"), the U.S. companies doing business there know very well that it's a bribe. Even if they pretend that it's not or pretend that they dont know anything about it. DOJ should investigate every US company in Saudi. Kazakhstan is as thoroughly corrupt as Saudi, only the number of bribe beneficiaries is much smaller.
