October 22, 2009
Previously published on October 6, 2009
On Friday, September 11, Gerald and Patricia Green were convicted at trial of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and U.S. money laundering laws, as well as nine counts of substantive FCPA violations and six counts of substantive money laundering violations. Patricia Green was also found guilty of two counts of falsifying U.S. tax returns. The Greens, owners of Film Festival Management, Inc., a film company based in Los Angeles, were found to have developed a sophisticated bribery scheme where they arranged payments to the former head of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Juthamas Siriwan, in exchange for receiving contracts to manage and operate Thailand's yearly "Bangkok International Film Festival," and three other contracts related to promoting tourism.
