M ANNER AND M EANS OF THE CONSPIRACY

The manner and means by which W ASHINGTON VASCONEZ CRUZ, CECILIA

ZURITA,AM ADEUS RICHERS, CINERGY, andtheir co-conspirators soughtto ac

complishthe

objects and purposes of the conspiracy included, among other things, the following:

4. W ASHINGTON VASCONEZ CRUZ, CECILIA ZURITA

, and AM ADEUS

RICHERS would authorize the payment of bribes on behalf of Uniplex and CINERGY intended

for various Haitian offkials who could affect Uniplex and CINERGY'S ability to obtain or retain

business with Haiti Teleco, including Robert Antoine, as Director of lntem ational Relations of Haiti

Teleco, JEAN RENE DUPERVAL, also as Director of International Relations of Haiti Teleco

,

PATRICK JOSEPH, as Director General of Haiti Teleco

, and Ofûcial B, as an official in the

executive branch of the Haitian Government.

5. Uniplex and CINERGY would make bribe payments intended for Robert Antoine

,

JEAN RENE DUPERVAL, PATRICKJOSEPH , and Official B and, inexchange, wouldreceive

various business advantages.

6. To disguise the true nature of the bribe payments, W ASHINGTON VASCONEZ

CRUZ, CECILIA ZURITA, and AM ADEUS RICHERS would eause payments to bt made f

or

oine,

JEAN RENE DUPERVAL, PATRICK JOSEPH , and Official B. To aid in the concealment of

thebribePaymentS,W ASHINGTONVASCONEZCRUZ,CECILIAZUY TA

, andAM ADEUS

RICHERS would cause Uniplex and CINERGY to put false notations on financial

, banking, and

accounting documents.

One of the intermediary companies used to conceal and disguise the bribe payments

was JD Locator, a shell entity controlled by Juan Diaz. CECILIA ZURITA would issue checks

from Uniplex's bank account to JD Locator that Juan Diaz would deposit into JD Locator's bank

account at Kislak National Barlk in Miami (the CCJD Locator Kislak bank account''). Over the course

ofthe conspiracy, over $333,000 inCheCkSthatW ASHINGTON VASCONEZCRUZ

, CECILIA

ZURITA, and AM ADEUS RICHERS caused Uniplex to issue to JD Locator were deposited into

the JD Locator Kislak bnnk account. These checks were issued for no legitimate business purp

ose.

lt was VASCONEZ, ZURITA, and RICHERS' intention that the funds would be used to provide

an illicit benefit to PATRICK JOSEPH, Robert Antoine, and Official B .

8. Juan Diaz and Jean Fourcand would disburse the funds from the JD Locator Kislak

bank account by writing and cashing checks from that account and by purchasing cashier's checks

for PATRICK JOSEPH'S benefit. To help conceal their activities

, Juan Diaz and Jean Fourcand

would keep under $10,000 any cash transactions conducted for PATRICK JOSEPH'S benefit to

avoid currency reporting requirements that applied to cash transactions of $10,000 or more.

9. At Robert Antoine's direction, Juan Diaz would disburse the funds from the JD

Locator Kislak bank account by: (1) sending wire transfers to Antoine's Washington M utual bank

account; (2) issuing checks made payable to Antoine, which were then deposited into Antoine's

12

12 of 44


W ashington Mutual bank aecotmt; (3) withdrawing currency to be given to Antoine

, some of which

was then deposited into Antoine's W ashington M utual bank account; and (4) sending funds to family

members of Antoine and others at Antoine's direction.

10. At times, Juan Diaz would also write cheeks to Fourcand Enterprises. Diaz would

then give the checks to Jean Fourcand to deposit in the Fourcand Entemrises account

, and AM ADEUS

RICHERS would also cause bribe payments to be made that were intended for PATRICK

of 'QJ.D. Locator

Services''thatvAscoNEz, ZURITA, and RICHERS would cause to be deli

vered to PATRICK

JOSEPH in Haiti (the tSJD Locatorllaiti checks'). VASCONEZ, ZURITA, and RICHERS would

cause these checks to be delivered knowing thatthere was no business called ISJ.D. Locator Services''

at the Haitian address listed on the checks. Over the course of the conspiraey

, ZURITA would cause

over $815,000 worth of checks to be sent to Haiti on behalf of PATRICK JOSEPH and Official

B in this marmer.

12. At PATRICK JOSEPH'S direction, Oftkial A would use his position as the

Govemor of the Bank of Haiti to cause the JD Locator Haiti checks to be negotiated at the Bank of

Haiti. Official A would then cause wire transfers to be made, checks to be issued

s and cash to be

withdrawn for the benefit of PATRICK JOSEPH.

Company A was anotherintermediary company that was used to pay bribes that were

intended for Offcial B. W ASHINGTON VASCONEZ CRUZ

, CECILIA ZURITA , and

AM ADEUS RICHERS would cause CINERGY to enter into a letter agreement with Haiti Teleco

13

13 of 44


that provided that $1,228,500 was due from CINERGY to Company A for iiDistribution and

Administration Fees.'' VASCONEZ, ZURITA, RICHERS, and CINERGY would cause the

$1,228,500 to be paid to Company A, directly or indirectly

, with the intention that a portion of these

payments would later be paid to Official B. Company A would not perform any distrib

ution or

administration of any kind under this letter agreem ent.

14. After JEAN RENE DUPERVAL assumed the role of Director of International

Relations, W ASHINGTON VASCONEZ CRUZ, CECILIA ZURITA, and AM ADEUS

RICHERS would cause bribe payments to be made to DUPERVAL through the intermedi

ary

company Telecom Consulting. At the time that DUPERVAL assumed this position, CINERGY

had used most of its pre-paid minute credits that it had received on favorable terms from Robe

rt

Antoine, PATRICK JOSEPH, and Official B. VASCONEZ

, ZURITA, and RICHERS would

seek to extend CINERGY'S favorable treatment and to reeeive more pre-paid minute credits by

bribing DUPERVAL. Over the course of the conspiracy, ZURITA would cause over $257

,000

worth of checks to be issued to Telecom Consulting on behalf of DUPERVAL

. To conceal the

bribery, ZURITA would include false memos on the checks. Telecom Consulting would not

perform any consulting services of any kind for Uniplex, CINERGY

, or any other

telecom munications company.

15. W hen Robert Antoine went to work as a consultant for Uniplex and CINERGY

, he

acted as an additional intenuediary. Antoine would receive funds from Uniplex in the

name of

Process Consulting and then issue checks from Process Consulting to Telecom Consulting

, intending

that the funds actually be transferred to JEAN RENE DUPERVAL. Over the course of the

14

14 of 44


conspiracy, Antoine would transmit at least $22,500 worth of illicit payments in this manne

r.

Telecom Consulting would not perform any consulting services of any kind for Process Cons

ulting.

16. M ARGUERITE GRANDISON would receive checks from Uniplex

, CINERGY,

and Process Consulting and deposit them into Telecom Consulting's bank account

. At JEAN

RENE DUPERVAL'S direction, GRANDISON would disburse the funds recei

ved by: (1) issuingchecks from Telecom Consulting's account

made payable to DUPERVAL, which were then

deposited into DUPERVAL'S bank accounts; (2) issuingchecks from Telecomconsulting's account

made payable to DUPERVAL, which were then caused to be cashed by DUPERVAL; (3) issuing

checks from Telecom Consulting's accotmt made payable to DUPERVAL'S family

, which were

then deposited into DUPERVAL'S bank accounts; (4)withdrawing currency from Telecom

Telecom Consulting's account for the benest of DUPERVAL.
