The penalty for a willful violation of FARA is imprisonment for not more than five years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both. Certain violations are considered misdemeanors, with penalties of imprisonment of not more than six months, a fine of not more than $5,000, or both. There are also civil enforcement provisions that empower the Attorney General to seek an injunction requiring registration under FARA (for applicable activities) or correcting a deficient registration statement. [...] When is registration due? FARA mandates that you must register before acting as an agent of a foreign principal. Under Section 612(a) of FARA, parties must file a registration statement within 10 days of having agreed to act as an agent of a foreign principal. A party may not begin to act as an agent of a foreign principal before registering. See 22 U.S.C. § 612(a). A registration statement will not be deemed to have been filed unless it is accompanied by the applicable fee. See 28 C.F.R. § 5.5(h). -- -v
