WASHINGTON—Two employees of a U.S. broker-dealer and a senior official in Venezuela’s state economic development bank have been charged in New York’s federal court for their alleged roles in a massive international bribery scheme.
Mythili Raman, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Criminal Division; Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York; and George Venizelos, the Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Office of the FBI, made the announcement.
According to the criminal complaint unsealed today, Tomas Alberto Clarke Bethancourt (Clarke) and Jose Alejandro Hurtado—who were both employees of a U.S. broker-dealer (broker-dealer)—and Maria de los Angeles Gonzalez de Hernandez (Gonzalez)—who is a senior official in Venezuela’s state economic development bank, Banco de Desarrollo Económico y Social de Venezuela (BANDES)—are accused of conspiring to pay bribes to Gonzalez in exchange for her directing BANDES’s financial trading business to the broker-dealer. Gonzalez, 54, a resident of Caracas, Venezuela, was arrested in Miami on May 3, 2013. Clarke, 43, and Hurtado, 38, were also arrested Friday in Miami, where they reside. All three defendants were presented yesterday in federal court in Miami and remain in custody.
“Today’s announcement is a wake-up call to anyone in the financial services industry who thinks bribery is the way to get ahead,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Raman. “The defendants in this case allegedly paid huge bribes so that foreign business would flow to their firm. Their return on investment now comes in the form of criminal charges carrying the prospect of prison time. We will not stand by while brokers or others try rig the system to line their pockets and will continue to vigorously enforce the FCPA and money laundering statutes across all industries.”
“The defendants’ arrests lay bare a web of bribery and corruption in which employees of a U.S. broker-dealer allegedly generated tens of millions of dollars through transactions in order to fund kickbacks to a Venezuelan government official in exchange for her directing the Venezuelan economic development bank’s financial trading business to their employer,” said U.S. Attorney Bharara. “As alleged, the defendants also engaged in international money laundering to carry out their corrupt scheme. This office, along with all of our federal partners, is committed to holding individuals who violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act to account.”
“As alleged, the defendants conspired to use Venezuela’s economic development bank as their personal piggy bank,” said FBI Assistant Director in Charge Venizelos. “Clarke and Hurtado reaped huge commissions from their trading of the bank’s assets and kicked back significant sums to Gonzalez. The brazenness of the alleged scheme was exemplified in their buying bank bonds and selling them back on the same day.”
In a separate action, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced civil charges against Clarke, Hurtado, and two others.
According to the allegations in the criminal complaint unsealed today, the forfeiture complaint, and other documents filed in Manhattan federal court, Clarke and Hurtado worked or were associated with the broker-dealer, based in New York City, principally through its Miami offices. In 2008, the broker-dealer established a group called the Global Markets Group, which included Clarke and later Hurtado, and which offered fixed income trading services to institutional clients. One of the broker-dealer’s clients was BANDES. Gonzalez was an official at BANDES and oversaw the development bank’s overseas trading activity. At her direction, BANDES conducted substantial trading through the broker-dealer. Most of the trades executed by the broker-dealer on behalf of BANDES involved fixed income investments for which the broker-dealer charged the bank a mark-up on purchases and a mark-down on sales.
From April 2009 through June 2010, Clarke, Hurtado, and Gonzalez participated in a bribery scheme in which Gonzalez directed trading business she controlled at BANDES to the broker-dealer, and in return, agents and employees of the broker-dealer split the revenue the broker-dealer generated from this trading business with Gonzalez. During this time period, the broker-dealer generated more than $60 million in mark-ups and mark-downs from trades with BANDES. Agents and employees of the broker-dealer, including Clarke and Hurtado, devised a split with Gonzalez of the commissions paid by BANDES to the broker-dealer. E-mails, account records, and other documents collected from the broker-dealer and other sources reveal that Gonzalez received a substantial share of the revenue generated by the broker-dealer for BANDES-related trades. Specifically, Gonzalez received monthly kickbacks from broker-dealer agents and employees that were frequently in six-figure amounts.
Some of the trades the broker-dealer executed for BANDES had no discernible business purpose. For instance, in January 2010, the broker-dealer executed at least two round-trip trades between itself and BANDES for the same bonds on the same day. In other words, the broker-dealer bought certain bonds from BANDES and then immediately sold those same bonds back to the bank. The result of the trades was that BANDES was left with the same bond holdings as before the trades, except that it had paid the broker-dealer approximately $10.5 million in mark-ups in the course of the two round-trip transactions.
Certain payments to Gonzalez directly from Hurtado and an entity controlled by Clarke totaled at least $3.6 million. When added together with other payments referenced in the Complaint, Gonzalez received a total of at least $5 million.
To further conceal the scheme, the kickbacks to Gonzalez were often paid using intermediary corporations and offshore accounts that she held in Switzerland, among other places. For instance, Clarke used an account he controlled in Switzerland to transfer funds to an account Gonzalez controlled in Switzerland. Gonzalez then transferred some of this money to an account she held in the United States. Additionally, Hurtado and his spouse received substantial compensation from the broker-dealer, portions of which Hurtado transferred to an account held by Gonzalez in Miami and to an account held by an associate of Gonzalez in Switzerland. Hurtado also sought and received reimbursement from Gonzalez for the payment of U.S. income taxes related to the money that he used to make kickback payments to Gonzalez.
In addition to the criminal complaint, on May 6, 2013, the government filed a civil forfeiture action in Manhattan federal court, seeking the forfeiture of assets held in a number of bank accounts associated with the scheme, including several bank accounts located in Switzerland. The forfeiture complaint also seeks the forfeiture of several properties in the Miami area related to Hurtado that were purchased with his proceeds from the scheme. As set forth in the forfeiture complaint, in addition to Gonzalez, another BANDES official, identified as CC-1 in the forfeiture complaint, also received kickback payments as part of the scheme. Also on May 6, 2013, the court issued seizure warrants for multiple bank accounts and a restraining order relating to the Miami properties.
This ongoing investigation is being conducted by the FBI, with assistance from the SEC and the Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs. Assistant Chief James Koukios and Trial Attorneys Maria Gonzalez Calvet and Aisling O’Shea of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and Assistant United States Attorneys Harry A. Chernoff and Jason H. Cowley of the Southern District of New York’s Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force are in charge of the prosecution. Assistant United States Attorney Carolina Fornos is also responsible for the forfeiture aspects of the case.
Additional information about the Justice Department’s FCPA enforcement efforts can be found atwww.justice.gov/criminal/fraud/fcpa.
The charges contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

WASHINGTON
-
Dos empleados corredores de bolsa en EE.UU. y un alto funcionario en el Banco de Desarrollo Económico del Estado de Venezuela han sido acusados en una corte federal de Nueva York por su presunta participado en un esquema de soborno masivo internacional.
Mythili Raman, Auxiliar de Justicia Interina de la División Criminal del Departamento de Justicia, Preet Bharara, Fiscal de EE.UU. para el Distrito Sur de Nueva York, y George Venizelos, Director Auxiliar a Cargo de la Oficina de Nueva York del FBI, hicieron el anuncio.
De acuerdo con la denuncia penal a conocer hoy, Tomas Alberto Bethancourt Clarke (Clarke) y José Alejandro Hurtado eran empleados como agentes corredores un EE.UU. (broker-dealer) y María de los Angeles González de Hernández (González)una alta funcionaria del banco estatal de Venezuela del Banco de Desarrollo Económico y Social de Venezuela (BANDES), están acusados de conspiración por pagar "presuntamente" sobornos a González a cambio de usar su dirección de negocio de comercio financiero, conocido como BANDES casa de bolsa. González, de 54 años, residente en Caracas, Venezuela, fue arrestada en Miami el 3 de mayo de 2013. Clarke, de 43 años, y Hurtado de 38 años, también fueron detenidos el viernes en Miami, donde residen. Los tres fueron acusados y presentados ayer ante la corte federal de Miami y permanecen bajo custodia.
"El anuncio de hoy es una llamada de atención a cualquier persona en la industria de servicios financieros que piensa que el soborno es la manera de salir adelante", dijo el Secretario Auxiliar de Justicia Interino. "Los acusados en este caso supuestamente pagaron grandes sobornos para que las empresas extranjeras mandaran a su empresa dinero. Su retorno de la inversión ahora viene en forma de cargos criminales que llevan la posibilidad de la pena de prisión. No vamos a permanecer impasibles mientras agentes u otras personas intentan manipular el sistema para llenar sus bolsillos y se seguirán aplicando con firmeza la FCPA y las leyes de lavado de dinero en todas las industrias ".
"Las detenciones de los acusados ponen al descubierto una trama de sobornos y corrupción en el que los empleados de una casa de bolsa de Estados Unidos supuestamente generaba decenas de millones de dólares, a través de transacciones con el fin de financiar sobornos a un funcionario del gobierno venezolano, a cambio de su dirección de negocio de comercio financiero del banco", dijo el Procurador EE.UU. Bharara. "A medida que se alega, los demandados también se dedicaban al lavado internacional de dinero para llevar a cabo su esquema de corrupción. Esta oficina, junto con todos nuestros socios federales, se comprometen a la persecución de las personas que violan y ejercen prácticas corruptas con cuentas en el Extranjero".
"A medida que se alega, los acusados conspiraron para utilizar el banco de desarrollo económico de Venezuela como su alcancía personal", dijo el director asistente del FBI. "Clarke y Hurtado cosecharon enormes comisiones por sus operaciones de los activos del banco y aportaron de vuelta importantes sumas a González. El descaro del supuesto plan fue ejemplificado en compras de bonos del banco y su posterior venta el mismo día ".
En una acción separada, la Comisión de Valores de EE.UU. (SEC) anunció los cargos civiles contra Clarke, Hurtado, y otras dos personas.
De acuerdo con las alegaciones de la denuncia penal a conocer hoy, la denuncia decomiso y otros documentos presentados en corte federal de Manhattan, Clarke y Hurtado trabajaba o se asociaron con el corredor de bolsa, con sede en la ciudad de Nueva York, principalmente a través de sus oficinas de Miami. En el 2008, la casa de bolsa creó un grupo llamado Grupo de Mercados Global, que incluyeron a Clarke y luego a Hurtado, y ofrecía servicios de negociación de renta fija para clientes institucionales. Uno de los clientes de la casa de bolsa era BANDES. González era un funcionario del BANDES y supervisó la actividad del banco de desarrollo de comercio exterior. En su dirección, BANDES realiza operaciones sustanciales a través de la casa de bolsa. La mayor parte de las operaciones fueron ejecutadas por la casa de bolsa, en nombre de BANDES involucrando inversiones de renta fija que la casa de bolsa del banco cobraba con un recargo en las compras y un margen de beneficio con la venta.
Desde abril de 2009 hasta junio de 2010, Clarke, Hurtado y González participaron en un esquema de soborno en el que González dirigió BANDES a la casa de bolsa, y, a cambio, los agentes y empleados de la casa de bolsa dividían los ingresos de la sociedad de valores generados por este negocio de comercio con González. Durante este período de tiempo, la sociedad de valores generó más de $ 60 millones en marca-downs mark-ups y de las operaciones con BANDES. Agentes y empleados de la casa de bolsa, incluyendo Clarke y Hurtado, idearon una ruptura con González de las comisiones pagadas por BANDES a la casa de bolsa. Los correos electrónicos, registros de cuentas y otros documentos recopilados de la casa de bolsa y otras fuentes revelan que González recibió una parte sustancial de los ingresos generados por la sociedad de valores para las operaciones relacionadas con el BANDES. En concreto, González recibió sobornos mensuales de los agentes corredores de bolsa y empleados que se encontraban con frecuencia en cantidades de seis cifras.
Algunos de los oficios de la casa de bolsa ejecutado por BANDES no tenían ningún propósito comercial aparente. Por ejemplo, en enero de 2010, la sociedad de valores ejecutó al menos dos operaciones de ida y vuelta entre ella y BANDES para los mismos bonos en el mismo día. En otras palabras, la sociedad de valores compró ciertos bonos del BANDES e inmediatamente vendió esos mismos bonos al banco. El resultado de las negociaciones ha sido de que BANDES se quedó con las mismas tenencias de bonos, excepto que había pagado al agente bursátil aproximadamente $ 10.5 millones de dolares en aumentos de precio en el transcurso de las dos operaciones de ida y vuelta.
Ciertos pagos a Gonzalez directamente de Hurtado y una entidad controlada por Clarke fue de por lo menos $ 3.6 millones. Cuando se añade junto con otros pagos mencionados en la demanda, González recibió un total de por lo menos $ 5 millones.
Para ocultar aún más el sistema, los sobornos a González se les pagaba a menudo con empresas intermediarias y las cuentas en el extranjero que se llevó a cabo en Suiza, entre otros lugares. Por ejemplo, Clarke utiliza una cuenta que él controlaba en Suiza para transferir fondos a una cuenta controlada Gonzalez en Suiza. González luego se transfiere parte de este dinero en una cuenta que tenía en los Estados Unidos. Además, Hurtado y su esposa recibieron una compensación sustancial de la sociedad de valores, partes de la cual Hurtado había transferido a una cuenta a nombre de González en Miami. Hurtado también solicitó y recibió un reembolso de González para el pago de impuestos sobre la renta de Estados Unidos en relación con el dinero que se utiliza para hacer pagos de sobornos a González.
Además de la denuncia penal, el 6 de mayo de 2013, el gobierno presentó una acción de confiscación civil en la corte federal de Manhattan, en busca de la confiscación de los activos mantenidos en una serie de cuentas bancarias relacionadas con el programa, incluyendo varias cuentas bancarias ubicadas en Suiza. La denuncia del decomiso también busca la confiscación de varias propiedades en la zona de Miami en relación con Hurtado compraron con sus ganancias de régimen de sobornos. Como se ha expuesto en la denuncia confiscación, además de González, otro funcionario BANDES, identificado como CC-1 en la denuncia decomiso, también recibió pagos de soborno como parte del esquema. También el 6 de mayo de 2013, el tribunal emitió órdenes de incautación de varias cuentas bancarias y una orden de restricción en relación con las propiedades de Miami.
Esta investigación en curso se lleva a cabo por el FBI, con la ayuda de la SEC y la Oficina de Asuntos Internacionales del Departamento de Justicia. El subjefe James Koukios y los Abogados Litigantes María González Calvet y Aisling O'Shea de la Sección de Fraude de la División Criminal y el Asistente de los Estados Unidos Abogados Harry A. Chernoff y Jason H. Cowley del Distrito Sur de Valores de Nueva York y de Productos Básicos Grupo de Trabajo contra el Fraude están en cargo de la acusación. El Asistente Fiscal de Estados Unidos Carolina Fornos también es responsable de los aspectos decomiso del caso.
