Former telecom executive jailed

US Distrist Judge Jose E. Martinez has imposed a nine-year jail term on Jean Rene Duperval, a former senior executive at Haiti’s state-run telecommunications company. Duperval, 45, was jailed after he was found guilty on money laundering charges linked to nearly half a million dollars in bribes he accepted from US-based companies.
Duperval, who served as international relations director for eight months at Telecommunications D’Haiti, better known as Haiti Teleco, was found guilty of money laundering offenses by a jury here in March. He is one of eight people convicted so far in a massive case brought by the Justice Department under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
