($ORCL, $SAP) SAP AG has agreed to pay $20 million to resolve a criminal probe into allegations that it downloaded millions of files from rival Oracle, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The plea deal, scheduled to be formalized at a court hearing on Wednesday, comes as Oracle seeks to appeal a recent ruling that slashed a $1.3 billion civil jury verdict against SAP over the same conduct.
U.S. Department of Justice prosecutors last week charged SAP's defunct TomorrowNow Inc unit with 12 criminal counts in connection with illegal downloads of Oracle software files, according to court documents.
SAP agreed to settle the case last week, although the dollar amount was not revealed in publicly available court filings.
