Show Trial Opens In DC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
In the first group are Pankesh Patel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], John Wier III,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Andrew Bigelow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Lee Tolleson.
For background on the defendants,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], see our post here.
The government charged them with plotting to bribe the minister of defense for Gabon to sell military and law enforcement products,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. But the scheme was part of an FBI undercover operation and no foreign official was actually involved.
The defendants were charged in a 44-count superceding indictment with conspiracy to violate the FCPA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], violating the FCPA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], conspiracy to commit money laundering,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and aiding and abetting. They also face a forfeiture count.
At least three of the defendants have already pleaded guilty.
Haim Geri pleaded guilty in April to one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He faces 18 to 24 months in prison and a $250,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 fine. A sentencing date wasn't set. He lives in Miami.
In March,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Daniel Alvirez pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to violate the FCPA, and Jonathan Spiller pleaded guilty to one FCPA conspiracy count. They haven't been sentenced.
In September last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Richard Bistrong,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the key intermediary between the FBI and the shot-show defendants, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other statutes. He's waiting to be sentenced.
BLT said a defense filing Thursday alleged that the is built entirely around an irredeemably corrupt con-man, Richard Bistrong, and that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], by mishandling him and by other misconduct, the government allowed Bistrong to contaminate every aspect of the operation."
Prosecutors said Saturday that claims of alleged governmental misconduct in an investigation are matters left to a judge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not a jury, according to BLT.
