Yes it can, in a lot of cases of fraud and cartel behaviour involving large corporations, the regulator or prosecuting agency can agree to settle out of court by making an order that the corporations pay a fine and/or compensation and they can also make orders prohibiting those companies from engaging in that type of behaviour again. It just depends on which country you are in and the nature and seriousness of the charges, often police will do a plea deal or plea bargain where if an offender pleads guilty to a more serious charge then the police will withdraw less serious charges. This often happens in Australia.
