2 in US guilty of bribes for Haiti phone contracts

The Associated Press
MIAMI -- Two Miami men have pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges for paying more than $1 million in bribes to Haitian officials to secure telephone contracts in that country.

Fifty-one-year-old Juan Diaz entered his plea Friday in federal court. Antonio Perez, also 51, pleaded guilty last month. Both face up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

Court records show the men bribed Haitian officials so their companies could win contracts with Haiti's state-owned telecommunications company. There was also an illegal side deal that gave the companies better rates and other advantages.

The conspiracy operated from 2001 through 2003. U.S. prosecutors said much of the evidence was gathered by Haitian authorities.
