Haiti: Indictment alleges Haiti telecom scam

Two executives of a Miami-Dade telecom company, two former officials with the Haitian government and the president of a Florida consulting firm were indicted for their alleged roles in a foreign bribery, wire fraud and money laundering scheme, U.S. officials say.

The indictment alleges that the defendants participated in a scheme to commit foreign bribery and money laundering involving Haiti's state-owned telecommunications company, Haiti Teleco.

The five individuals charged are: Joel Esquenazi, 53, of Miami; Carlos Rodriguez, 53, of Davie; Robert Antoine, 61, of Miami and Haiti; Jean Rene Duperval, 43, of Miramar and Haiti, and Marguerite Grandison, 40, of Miramar, Duperval's sister.
