DOJ Announces Individual Enforcement Action In Connection With A Bribery Scheme Involving The Honduran National Police

Last week the DOJ announced the unsealing of an indictment criminally charging:

Carl Alan Zaglin (the owner of a Georgia-based manufacturer of law enforcement uniforms and accessories);

Francisco Roberto Cosenza Centeno (former Executive Director of the Comité Técnico del Fideicomiso para la Administración del Fondo de Protección y Seguridad Poblacional (TASA) a Honduran governmental entity that procured goods for the Honduran National Police); and

Aldo Nestor Marchena (a dual citizen of the U.S. and Peru)

for their alleged participation in a scheme to pay and conceal bribes to Honduran government officials to secure contracts to provide uniforms and other goods to the Honduran National Police.

Although not named in the indictment, the “Georgia company” is presumably Tru-Spec (owned by Atlanco, formerly Atlanta Army Navy Company).
