Two men have been charged with violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) for attempting to bribe Haitian government officials in order to win approval for an $84 million development project. The project would’ve involved building multiple facilities around the port near Môle St. Nicolas, including cement factories, shipping-related stations, a power plant, and tourist centers. To win approval for the project, Roger Richard Boncy and Joseph Baptiste allegedly discussed bribing a high-level aide, and planned to funnel the bribes through a fake humanitarian nonprofit based in Maryland.
