  • Influence to be Obtained
  • According to court documents filed in the Southern District of Texas, beginning in 2009, Rincon-Fernandez, Shiera, Ardila-Rueda, and Millan Escobar allegedly agreed to bribe officials at PDVSA to secure lucrative energy contracts for Rincon-Fernandez’s and Shiera’s companies. To execute the alleged scheme, the Government argued that Rincon-Fernandez, Shiera, Millan Escobar, Ardila-Rueda, and Hernandez attempted to bribe PDVSA officials (including Gravina-Munoz, Maldonado-Barillas, and Ramos-Castillo) in exchange for rigging a competitive bidding process in Rincon-Fernandez’s and Shiera’s favor. Specifically, according to the indictment, PDVSA awarded its project contracts by way of “bidding panels” composed of companies that would be invited to bid on a particular project. The “bidding panels” were compiled by one of a number of PDVSA officials. Rincon-Fernandez, Shiera, Ardila-Rueda, and Millan Escobar allegedly bribed those PDVSA officials responsible for selecting the “bidding panels” (including Gravina-Munoz, Maldonado-Barillas, and Ramos-Castillo) with money as well as travel, meals, and other entertainment in exchange for agreeing to place one or more of Rincon-Fernandez’s and Shiera’s closely-held companies on the panels and directing the contracts to one of Rincon-Fernandez’s and Shiera’s companies.

    Although Rincon-Fernandez and Shiera are accused of controlling the award of the PDVSA contracts, they allegedly sought to place several of their closely held companies on the bidding panels to create the illusion that the contracts were awarded through a competitive bidding process. According to the DOJ, Rincon-Fernandez, Shiera, Millan Escobar, Gravina-Munoz, Maldonado-Barillas, and Ramos-Castillo made efforts to conceal the fact that Rincon-Fernandez and Shiera controlled several of the companies on the bidding panels. Once awarded the project contracts, Rincon-Fernandez, Shiera, Ardila-Rueda, and Millan Escobar allegedly wired funds from their closely held companies to bank accounts or entities controlled by the officials, the officials’ relatives, or other designated individuals. The payments were frequently referred to as “commissions” for equipment or services that were allegedly never provided.

    Separately, according to the DOJ, Beech engaged in a similar scheme to pay bribes to Gravina-Munoz in exchange for securing PDVSA Contracts. The DOJ also alleged that Gonzalez Testino engaged in a scheme to make payments and provide other things of value to a Venezuelan government official from PDVSA to secure business and other advantages for the companies controlled by Gonzalez Testino.

    In another related case, the DOJ alleged that Castillo Rincon conspired to bribe Camacho, a PDVSA official, to obtain or retain business.

    The DOJ also filed charges against five former Venezuelan government officials allegedly involved in receiving and/or laundering improper payments: De Leon-Perez, Villalobos Cardenas, Rincon-Godoy, Reiter-Munoz, Isturiz Chiesa, Camacho, Maldonado-Barillas, Gravina- Munoz, and Ramos-Castillo (“Venezuelan Officials”). The DOJ’s Indictment alleges that the Venezuelan Officials requested vendors and providers for bribes and kickbacks in exchange for directing business to them and providing them with payment priority. The indictment alleges further that the Venezuelan Officials laundered the proceeds of the bribery scheme. The DOJ later filed a superseding indictment against Reiter-Munoz, Javier Alvarado-Ochoa, Daisy T. Rafoi-Bleuler, and Paulo J.D.C. Casqueiro-Murta who allegedly assisted in transferring and laundering bribe money by setting up shell accounts to funnel the bribes.

    In another related case, the DOJ alleged that Convit Guruceaga, Amparan Croquer, Aqui, Ortega, Hernandez Frieri, Gois, Krull, and Acosta y Lara conspired to launder proceeds associated with bribery and embezzlement at PDVSA.

    Separately, the DOJ alleged that Gonzalez Testino and Farias, who both controlled a number of PDVSA’s suppliers, bribed PDVSA and foreign officials for priority over other vendors and receive information about the PDVSA bidding process.

    In another case, the DOJ alleged that Guedez was an employee of PDVSA who directed PDVSA’s business toward certain suppliers in exchange for kickbacks.

    Further, the DOJ charged Pinto-Franceschi and Muller-Huber, respectively employee and President of the exclusive supplier of heavy industrial equipment to PDVSA. Pinto-Franceschi and PDVSA officials allegedly agreed to bribe payments for PDVSA to designate the supplier in PDVSA’s business. Pinto-Franceschi and Muller-Huber allegedly received kickbacks set at a percentage of each bribe.

    According to the DOJ, Rangel, as head of procurement for a PDVSA subsidiary, received over $5 million in bribes in exchange for his assistance in awarding a PDVSA contract. The DOJ also alleges that Orsoni received bribes in his position as general counsel for the same PDVSA subsidiary.

    The DOJ charged Urbano Fermin for allegedly paying Venezuelan officials to issue contracts for his companies with PDVSA. Separately, the DOJ alleged that Santilli paid bribes to PDVSA officials for contracts worth at least $146 million.

    The DOJ also charged D’Amato for paying PDVSA officials to award his companies lucrative and inflated contracts.

    In another case, the DOJ alleged that Padron conspired to bribe PDVSA officials to obtain lucrative energy contracts for his company.

    The DOJ charged De Jongh as a “foreign official” for his alleged receipt of bribes to award business from Citgo’s Special Projects group to Gonzalez, Farias, and other co-conspirators.

    In a separate case, Wakil was arrested in August 2021 and charged with bribery and money laundering counts related to his efforts to launder funds to obtain contracts with PDVSA.
