Combating corruption/ Colombia
The Colombian government and Attorney General’s Office
have joined forces with the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to uncover a wide-ranging case
of alleged transnational bribery that contravenes corruption and
anti-bribery legislation in both countries.
The DOJ’s criminal division, an attorney from
the New Jersey District Court, and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
have charged three former managers of the PetroTiger Ltd. firm, a consulting
service based in the US Virgin Islands, with paying a bribe of approximately
US$333,500 to managers of state Colombian oil firm Ecopetrol in order to secure
an oil-service contract worth $39.6 million.
