{UAH} U.S. Bribery Trial---Witness, Former Serbia Foreign Minister Identifies Kutesa in Court
U.S. Bribery Trial---Witness, Former Serbia Foreign Minister Identifies Kutesa in Court, Via Photos
Day 2 of Patrick Ho's trial for allegedly bribing Chad President Idriss Deby $2 million in cash stuffed in gift boxes to get oil block rights and for bribing Uganda Dictator Yoweri Museveni and Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa $500,000 each.
The U.S. alleges Kutesa's 500,000 was wired to Uganda from a New York bank, adding money laundering to the bribe charges against Ho. Museveni's alleged $500,000 in cash was wrapped in gift boxes Mafia-style and delivered by Ho to Uganda when Museveni invited him to his 2016 swearing in.
Testifying today was Vuk Jeremic former foreign minister of Serbia and President of the U.N. General Assembly in 2012 (he was succeeded as PGA by the late John Ashe, who was succeeded by Kutesa). After his UN PGA term Jeremic worked for Ho as a consultant to CEFC, the Chinese oil giant to help connect him to people like Deby and Kutesa.
Before Jeremic began testimony prosecutors projected photos of Kutesa and his chief of staff when he was PGA Arthur Kafeero, on a huge screen in the courtroom for jurors to see and Jeremic was asked to identify the Ugandans.
