As previously reported, last month, upon the government’s request, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon dismissed 19 indictments in the so-called Africa Sting cases. The government sought dismissal of the indictments after trying ten defendants in two separate trials and failing to convict a single defendant.
Following the 19 dismissals, Judge Leon granted the government’s request to dismiss the charges against three defendants who had pled guilty to a charge of conspiracy to violate the FCPA. The three men are Jonathan Spiller, the former president of Armor Holdings Inc., Daniel Alvarez and Haim Geri.
