Case: 11-15331
Page: 17 of 79
Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87 (1963). Generally, a district courts refusal to hold an evidentiary hearing is reviewed for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Kapordelis, 569 F.3d 1291, 1308 (11th Cir. 2009). In some cases, however, courts of appeals review de novo a refusal to hold evidentiary hearings involving constitutional issues. See, e.g., United States v. Arbolaez, 450 F.3d 1283, 1293 n.11 (11th Cir. 2006) (discussing various standards applicable to Fourth Amendment hearings pursuant to Franks v. Delaware, 438 U.S. 154 (1978)). Because Brady addresses Due Process rights under the Fifth Amendment, this Court should review de novo the district courts refusal to grant an evidentiary hearing. B. Statutory Construction and Sufficiency of the Evidence. This
Court reviews de novo a district courts construction of the statutory elements of a criminal offense. See United States v. Castro, 455 F.3d 1249, 1251 (11th Cir. 2006). This Court also reviews the sufficiency of the evidence de novo and view[s] the evidence in the light most favorable to the government with all reasonable inferences and credibility choices made in favor of the government to determine whether a reasonable jury could convict. United States v. Campa, 529 F.3d 980, 992 (11th Cir. 2008). 4
Case: 11-15331
Page: 18 of 79
C.
whether they misstate the law or mislead the jury to the prejudice of the party who objects to them. United States v. Grigsby, 111 F.3d 806, 814 (11th Cir. 1997). Provided the instructions accurately reflect the law, the district court enjoys wide discretion as to the style and wording employed in its instruction[s]. Bogle v. McClure, 332 F.3d 1347, 1356 (11th Cir. 2003). D. Sentencing Standards - Aggravating Role, Obstruction of Justice
or Perjury, and Loss Amount. The government has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence the existence of the aggravating role. United States v. De La Rosa, 922 F.2d 675, 680 (11th Cir. 1991). A district courts determination as to a defendants role in the offense is a finding of fact subject to a clearly erroneous standard of review. Whether a particular provision of the guidelines applies to a given set of facts, on the other hand, is a question of law reviewed de novo. United States v. Kirland, 985 F.2d 535, 537 (11th Cir. 1993). This Court reviews for clear error a district courts findings in support of an obstruction of justice offense level enhancement based on perjury, according great deference to the district courts credibility determinations. See United States v. Gregg, 179 F.3d 1312, 1316 (11th Cir. 1999). A district courts determination regarding the amount of loss for sentencing purposes is reviewed for clear error.

See United States v. Nosrati-Shamloo, 255 F.3d 1290, 1291 (11th Cir. 2001); United States v. Daniels, 148 F.3d 1260, 1261 (11th Cir. 1998). STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Whether the district court erred by refusing to conduct an evidentiary hearing on Brady issues. Whether Esquenazi is entitled to an acquittal because employees of Haiti Teleco were not foreign officials within the meaning of FCPA simply because the National Bank of Haiti owned shares of Haiti Teleco and the Haitian government appoint board members and directors. Whether the FCPA jury instructions adequately conveyed the requisite governmental function necessary to establish that Haiti Teleco was an instrumentality of the Haitian government and Esquenazis knowledge of the same. Whether the district court erred by improperly applying the sentencing guidelines as to leadership role, perjury and loss amount. STATEMENT OF THE CASE Joel Esquenazi was indicted on twenty-one counts of conspiracy to commit violations of the FCPA and wire fraud (Count 1), violating the FCPA (Counts 2-8), conspiracy to commit money laundering (Count 9), and money laundering (Counts 10-21), in violation of 18 U.S.C. 371, 15 U.S.C. 78dd-2(a), 18 U.S.C. 2, 18 U.S.C. 1956(h), and 18 U.S.C. 1956(a)(1)(B)(i), respectively.1 The indictment alleged that between 2001 and 2004, Esquenazi and Carlos Rodriguez, co-owners and executives of Terra Telecommunications Company
Dkt. 3.
Case: 11-15331
Page: 20 of 79
(Terra), a Miami-based telecommunications company, used various consultants2 to pay kick-backs to two employees, Robert Antoine and Jean Rene Duperval, of the Haitian telecommunications company, Telecommunications DHaiti S.A. (Haiti Teleco), in exchange for reduced international telecommunications rates and unearned credits.3 The original indictment also named Antoine, Duperval, and Marguerite Grandison as co-defendants. Antoine pled guilty.4 Duperval and Grandisons trial was later severed from Esquenazi and Rodriguezs.5 The Governments FCPA theory throughout the case was that Antoine and Duperval were foreign officials under the FCPA simply because Haiti Telco was partially owned and purportedly controlled by the Republic of Haiti.6 Esquenazi moved to dismiss the indictment for failure to state a criminal offense and for vagueness, arguing that 1) Antoine and Duperval were not foreign officials; 2) Haiti Teleco was not an instrumentality of Haiti; and 3) the FCPAs language including any department, agency, or instrumentality in the definition of foreign official is unconstitutionally vague.7 In its response to Esquenazis

motion to dismiss the indictment, the Government blithely asserted, without meaningful legal support or contextual analysis, that the FCPAs current interpretation by courts, its legislative history, and U.S. treaty obligations provide no support for the defendants novel and confusing definition.8 The Governments primary argument was that the Defendants arguments were a premature request for a ruling on the sufficiency of the governments evidence or were premature arguments for jury instructions.9 The Government asserted that it stood prepared to brief and argue this issue again, should the defendants raise it, upon a Rule 29 motion or in the context of formulating jury instructions.10 In its three page order denying Esquenazis motion to dismiss, the district court characterized Esquenazis motion as discuss[ing] a number of factual issues, and asserted that the Government has sufficiently alleged that Antoine and Duperval were foreign officials by alleging that these individuals were directors in the state-owned Haiti Teleco.11 It also disagreed that Haiti Teleco cannot be an instrumentality under the FCPAs definition of foreign official Dkt. 294 at 9. In two footnotes, the Government cited to United States v. Nam Quoc Nguyen, et al, 08-CR-522, Dkt. 110, which summarily rejected without written opinion a similar motion to dismiss an FCPA indictment, which included a void for vagueness challenge.

because the plain language of this statute and the plain meaning of this term show that as the facts are alleged in the indictment Haiti Teleco could be an instrumentality of the Haitian government, but offered no analysis of the statutory language or explanation as to why the Governments ipse dixit interpretation was consistent with the plain meaning of the statute.12 At the jury instruction stage, Esquenazi again requested jury instructions that defined instrumentality in light of the statutory context of the FCPA.13 Seemingly oblivious to its own prior arguments, the Government now accused Esquenazi of proposing a jury instruction directly contradict[ing] the district courts ruling on the motion to dismiss, and ignor[ing] the district courts finding that state-owned enterprises can be government instrumentalities under the plain meaning of the statute, a ruling echoed since by two separate courts in the Central District of California.14 Once again, the Government offered no legal authority construing the statute or contextual analysis of the actual language in support of its interpretation. Instead it continued to bootstrap its position, claiming in essence that 1) the Government is permitted to construe the statute broadly; 2) it has done so in the past with little judicial comment; and 3) some other district courts have
12 13 14

allowed the Governments position.15 Again, the district court adopted the Governments position regarding instrumentality with little statutory analysis or explanation.16 On August 4, 2011, Esquenazi was convicted by a jury on all twenty-one counts of the indictment.17 No later than August 9, 2011, the Government received a declaration from Jean Max Bellerive, the Prime Minister of Haiti. The Prime Ministers declaration, dated July 26, 2011 ten days before the jury reached its verdict - asserted that: The law of September 16, 1963 grants the Haitian State or any other State body to acquire shares in Limited Companies. Once the State becomes a shareholder it must obtain a change in the bylaws to change the Limited Company (S.A.) to Limited Mixed Company (S.A.M.). This change is essential to allow the State to appoint its representatives to the Board of Directors. As far as [Haiti Teleco] is concerned, the company never underwent legal change and kept its old bylaws of Limited Company. . . . Based on the foregoing, [Haiti Teleco] has

never been and is not a State enterprise. Since its formation to date, it has and remains a Company under common law.18 The Government provided the document to defense counsel on August 10, 2011. Around August 25, 2011, Prime Minister Bellerive provided a second declaration, which in the words of the Government the Government assisted Mr. Bellerive in preparing.19 In the second declaration, he asserted that he: [D]id not know that [his prior declaration] was going to be used in criminal legal proceedings in the United States or that it was going to be used in support of the argument that, after the takeover by BRH [Bank of the Republic of Haiti] and before its modernization, [Haiti Teleco] was not part of the Public Administration of Haiti. This is obviously not the case since, during that time, [Haiti Teleco] belonged to BRH, which is an institution of the Haitian state. That document had been signed strictly for internal purposes and to be used in support of the on-going modernization process of [Haiti Teleco].20 Mr. Bellerive, however, confirmed the facts in his first declaration were correct, reiterating that between 1968 and the partial modernization of Haiti Telco in 2001, no Haitian law ever established [Haiti Teleco] as a publicly-owned institution.21 On August 25, 2011, Esquenazi joined Rodriguezs motion for a judgment of acquittal or new trial, noting that the Government had failed to prove the elements of an FCPA violation, the jury instruction regarding an instrumentality

under the FCPA was in error, and the Prime Ministers competing declarations were new evidence warranting a new trial.22 The district court denied the motion on October 14, 2011, asserting that the jury instructions properly defined an instrumentality under the FCPA through a non-exclusive multi-factor definition, and that the Prime Ministers July 26, 2011 declaration provides no newly discovered evidence and would not have affected the jury verdict.23 For sentencing, the probation office calculated a total offense level of 40 in its Pre-Sentence Investigation Report (PSIR). Esquenazi objected to the PSIRs enhancements.24 On October 22, 2011, Esquenazi filed a Motion for Variance/Downward Departure from the Sentencing Guidelines, which the district court granted.25 On October 25, 2011, Esquenazi was sentenced to 180 months imprisonment, three years of supervised release, $2,200,000 in restitution and a $2,100 special assessment. More specifically, the district court sentenced Esquenazi to a term of sixty months on Counts 1 through 8 and consecutive one hundred twenty months on Counts 9 through 21.26

In 1997, Esquenazi and Rodriguez formed Terra to provide telecommunications services in various countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Terra was a leading company in the marketing of prepaid phone cards and wholesale minutes.27 As part of its business operations, Terra used upwards of ten consultants familiar with various countries to assist it in doing business with those countries in conformance with their laws.28 In 2000, Haiti World Access International, Inc. (Haiti World Access) approached Terra about forming a joint venture to do business with Haiti Teleco.29 The parties executed a joint venture agreement.30 The contract required Terra to invest substantial resources, including expenditures for infrastructure in Haiti. In May of 2001, Esquenazi flew to Haiti to meet with Patrick Joseph, Haiti Telecos Director General. The meeting took place after Joseph voiced concerns over Haiti World Accesss failure to pay its invoices totaling over $400,000.31 During the visit, Joseph decided to terminate Haiti World Accesss contract and

from that point forward deal exclusively with Terra.32 Haiti Teleco and Terra entered into a contract on May 30, 2001.33 The contract required additional investments from Terra, but switched the nature of the relationship from a perminute rate basis to a joint venture arrangement with Haiti Teleco. In some cases, equipment purchased and installed in Haiti by Terra was to be compensated for by credits being applied to Terras account. Upon return to Miami, Terra terminated its joint venture with Haiti World Access.34 Based on his conversation with Joseph, Esquenazi believed Terras relationship with Haiti Teleco would be unencumbered by debts from Haiti World Access.35 Over time, Haiti Teleco grew to be approximately twenty to twenty-five percent of Terras overall business.36 B. Billing Disputes and Payments
A few months after executing the new joint venture agreement, Antoine joined Haiti Teleco as the Director of International Affairs. Antoine was responsible for administering Haiti Telecos relationships with foreign carriers like Terra.37 Despite the new agreement, Antoine on Haiti Telecos behalf continued to

bill on a per-minute basis, issued invoices to Terra based on amounts previously owed by Haiti World Access, and failed to account for the credits to which Terra was entitled.38 Terra disputed the charges and credits, but to little avail.39 Eventually, Terra filed a complaint with Conatel, the Haitian communications commission.40 Simultaneously, because Terra earned money from customers, at Haiti Telecos request, it issued disbursements to third-parties, including a law firm representing Haiti Teleco and two consulting companies - J.D. Locator, owned by Juan Diaz, and A&G Distributors, owned by Alix Pradel - with whom Terra had written agreements.41 Antoine, after he was indicted and pled guilty, reached an agreement with the Government, and now claimed that the consulting agreements with J.D. Locator and A&G Distributors were a sham, and that the payments were part of an explicit agreement between him and Esquenazi to pay Antoine 50% of the amount by which he reduced the invoices.42 In other words, according to Antoine, Terra gave him a 50% kick-back on all invoice reductions or credits. Between 2001 and 2004, according to Antoine, Terra would at his direction pay intermediaries such as

Antoine and Jean Fourcand, who ran a deli in Miami, also claimed that Terra agreed to provide calling cards free of charge to Fourcand though Terra issued invoices for them.43 Antoine was replaced by Duperval in August 2003.44 On November 18, 2003, Terra and Telecom Consulting Services Corporation (TCSC) executed a commission agreement under which Terra would pay TCSC for its help obtaining a contract with Haiti Teleco.45 Pursuant to the agreement, Terra made payments to TCSC.46 Grandison, who owned TCSC and was Dupervals sister, made 23 payments to Duperval and his wife.47 According to the Government, these payments were made to lower Terras invoices and per-minute rates.48 C.

Haiti, the Haitian government had the right to appoint at least two board members to Haiti Teleco, but no board members were appointed by the Haitian government at that time. Around 1971-1972, the Bank of the Republic of Haiti purchased 97% of Haiti Teleco, although no law marked the change in ownership. The Bank of the Republic of Haiti is Haitis central bank. At no time, however, was Haiti Telecos business status changed from S.A. - indicating a privately held limited company - to S.A.M. - indicating a limited mixed company.50 Haiti Teleco did, however, use S.A.M. periodically on letterhead and bills.51 And governmental officials, including President Jean Bertrand Aristide, appointed Patrick Joseph as General Director of Haiti Teleco in 2001, as well as various members of the board of directors, prior to being deposed in 2004. Other non-expert witnesses also stated their opinions that Haiti Teleco was a national, nationalized, or state-owned phone company. According to the first Bellerive declaration, the change in corporate formation was essential to allow the State to appoint its representatives to the Board of Directors, and Haiti Teleco never underwent legal change.52 On October 10, 1996, the Republic of Haiti passed a bill providing for the modernization of state-owned companies like Haiti Teleco through private

investment and government concessions.53 The modernization process of Haiti Teleco was completed between 2009 and 2010.54 SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT Although the FCPA is aimed at corrupt payments made to foreign officials, the Government never established that Haiti Teleco performed government functions similar to a governmental department or agency, such that Haiti Telecos employees would qualify as foreign officials. Instead, the Government relied on the National Bank of Haitis ownership of stock in Haiti Teleco and the Haitian governments appointment board members and directors. Six days after the jury reached its verdict, however, the Government disclosed the existence of a declaration from the then-current Prime Minister of Haiti, Jean Max Bellerive, prepared ten days prior to the case going to the jury. The declaration stated that Haiti Teleco has never been and is not a State enterprise, and that the by-laws of the company had never been changed as required by law to make Haiti Teleco a government-owned entity. Under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87 (1963), the Government has an affirmative obligation under the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to learn of any favorable evidence known to others acting on the governments

behalf in the case and disclose any potentially exculpatory evidence to the defendant. Esquenazi requested a Brady hearing to determine if and when the Government knew of the contents of this critical declaration. The district court erred in refusing to hold an evidentiary hearing under the circumstances. Esquenazi is also entitled to an acquittal on all FCPA-based counts because the term instrumentality in the FCPA should be construed to encompass only foreign entities performing governmental functions similar to departments or agencies. Here, the Government failed to establish that Haiti Teleco performed a governmental function. Despite the Governments continued reliance on the premise that state-ownership or state-control of a business entity makes that entity and instrumentality of the government under the FCPA, that theory was explicitly considered by the drafters of the FCPA, but not included in the statute, and is inconsistent with the language of the statute as drafted. Because so many individuals and companies prosecuted by the Government prefer to resolve their cases prior to trial, the validity of the Governments theory has seldom been tested in court, and never before by a United States Court of Appeals.55 This case presents an opportunity to review the Governments aggressive enforcement of a

less-than-clear federal statute and properly limit its scope to corrupt payments made to foreign officials, including employees of instrumentalities that perform governmental functions similar to governmental departments and agencies. Esquenazi is also entitled to an acquittal or a new trial because the jury instructions failed to require that the jury determine whether Haiti Teleco ever exercised a government function akin to a department or agency, or even define governmental function. Because the jury could have reached its verdict without any consideration of the function of Haiti Teleco, the jury instructions were deficient. Finally, the district court improperly calculated Esquenazis sentence. Esquenazis leadership role should have been that of an organizer or manager rather than a leader. Further, his enhanced sentence for perjury was improper both as to the substance of the district courts findings and the procedure by which it made the determination. ARGUMENT I. THE DISTRICT COURT ERRED WHEN IT REFUSED TO CONDUCT AN EVIDENTIARY HEARING ON BRADY ISSUES In Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87 (1963), the Supreme Court held that the Government violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment when it suppresses material evidence favorable to the defendant, regardless of the good

faith or bad faith of the Government. Brady created an obligation on the Government to disclose potentially exculpatory information to the defense, even where no specific request has been made by the defendant for the evidence, and even if the evidence is useful only for impeachment. Brady, 373 U.S. at 87; United States v. Agurs, 427 U.S. 97, 107-114 (1976); United States v. Bagley, 473 U.S. 667, 676 (1985). The Government also has an affirmative obligation to learn of any favorable evidence known to others acting on the governments behalf in the case and disclose the potentially exculpatory evidence to the defendant. Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419, 437 (1995); see also Ward v. Hall, 592 F.3d 1144, 1183 (11th Cir. 2010). A Brady violation occurs, therefore, where: 1) the government possessed evidence that was favorable to the accused, because it is either exculpatory or impeaching; 2) the evidence was suppressed by the Government, either willfully or inadvertently; and 3) the evidence was material so as to establish prejudice. See Strickler v. Greene, 527 U.S. 263, 281-82 (1999); Kelley v. Secy for Dept of Corrs., 377 F.3d 1317, 1354 (11th Cir. 2004).56 Where a defendant can establish
56
Suppressed evidence is material when there is a reasonable probability that ... the result of the proceeding would have been different had the evidence been available to the defense. Pennsylvania v. Ritchie, 480 U.S. 39, 57 (1987) (quotation omitted). A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome. United States v. Bagley, 473 U.S. 667, 682 (1985).
21
Case: 11-15331
Page: 35 of 79
the second and third factors, an evidentiary hearing is warranted to determine whether the Government improperly suppressed evidence. See Stano v. Dugger, 901 F.2d 898, 903-5 (11th Cir. 1990).57 In this case, six days after the jury reached its verdict, the Government turned over to the defense an affidavit from the Prime Minister of Haiti, Jean Max Bellerive, prepared ten days prior to the case going to the jury. That affidavit stated in no uncertain terms his opinion that Haiti Teleco has never been and is not a State enterprise. This information is material because it establishes the opinion of the head of the Haitian government, with law enforcement responsibilities, as to an essential element of the Governments FCPA counts whether employees of Haiti Teleco met the definition of foreign officials. The Governments only evidence on this element was the opinion of an expert witness, Gary Lissade, who in turn based his opinion on corporate letter head and bank ownership percentages but not on an examination of Haiti Telecos by-laws, coupled with generic statements by co-conspirators that Haiti Teleco was a national, nationalized, or state-owned phone company. Given the scant and circumstantial nature of the evidence, the Prime Ministers declaration, therefore,
See also United States v. Fernandez, 136 F.3d 1434, 1438-40 (11th Cir. 1998); United States v. Espinosa-Hernandez, 918 F.2d 911, 913-14 (11th Cir. 1990).

would have likely carried great weight with the jury and establishes a reasonable probability that the result of the proceeding would have been different had his opinion been available to the defense prior to the case being submitted to the jury. So too, would the fact that Haiti Telecos by-laws had never been changed, thus rendering President Aristides appointments to the Board of Directors invalid. Cf. United States v. McNab, 331 F.3d 1228, 1241 (11th Cir. 2003) (a court may rely upon [the] representations by foreign officials as to the validity of their governments laws). Based on the declaration, Esquenazi joined in Rodriquezs motion for a judgment of acquittal or new trial based upon newly discovered evidence and requested a hearing on the new evidence to examine possible Brady issues. The district court denied the motion without conducting an evidentiary hearing. In so doing, the district court held that 1) the defense was already aware of the information; 2) that the second affidavit established that Haiti Teleco was a government entity; and 3) that the Government adequately established by affidavit that it was not aware of the first Bellerive affidavit until August 9, 2011. But none of the district courts reasons vitiated the need for a Brady hearing. In the first place, there is no evidence that the defense was aware of either the Prime Ministers opinion regarding the legal status of Haiti Telco or the fact that the by-laws had not been changed as required under Haitian law. The fact that
23
Case: 11-15331
Page: 37 of 79
Esquenazi and Rodriguez had an expert that was prepared to testify that Haiti Teleco was not a public entity does not establish that the defense knew of either the Prime Ministers opinion regarding the status of Haiti Telco or the fact that the bylaws had not been changed thus invalidating President Aristides appointments. Second, Prime Ministers Bellerives second affidavit does not establish that Haiti Teleco was a government entity. The second declaration expressly affirms all of the content of the first affidavit, including the assertion that Haiti Teleco has never been and is not a State enterprise. All the second affidavit asserts is that Haiti Teleco was part of the public administration. But no effort is made to explain the difference between a state enterprise in the first declaration and public administration in the second, government-prepared, declaration or how those two statements can be reconciled. And most critically, the second declaration does not alter the fact that Haiti Telecos by-laws had not been properly amended, as stated in the first declaration. Third, the Governments response only establishes that the Government was not aware of the existence of the declaration until August 9, 2011. It does not establish when the Government was aware of the substance contained in the declaration i.e., that the Prime Minister did not consider Haiti Teleco to be a state enterprise, or that Haiti Telecos by-laws had not been amended as required to become a state enterprise. Nor does the Governments response establish
24
Case: 11-15331
Page: 38 of 79
what, if any, efforts it made to discover Haitian officials opinions regarding the status of Haiti Telco or whether the by-laws had been amended. Given the degree of cooperation between the Haitian government and the Government in this case a fact illustrated by the prompt second affidavit from Prime Minister Bellerive that was created by the Government58 - the Haitian governments knowledge may be imputed to the Government. See United States v. Antone, 603 F.2d 566, 569-70 (5th Cir. 1979) (holding that federal prosecutor was charged with knowledge possessed by state investigators given the extent of interaction and cooperation between the two governments). Given these unique circumstances, the district courts failure to conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the Government had complied with its Brady obligations was an abuse of discretion. II. ESQUENAZI IS ENTITLED TO AN ACQUITTAL BECAUSE EMPLOYEES OF HAITI TELECO WERE NOT DIRECTED FOREIGN OFFICIALS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE FCPA SIMPLY BECAUSE THE NATIONAL BANK OF HAITI OWNED SHARES OF HAITI TELECO AND THE HAITIAN GOVERNMENT APPOINTED BOARD MEMBERS AND DIRECTORS The FCPA was primarily designed to protect the integrity of American foreign policy and domestic markets. Lamb v. Phillip Morris, Inc., 915 F.2d 1024, 1029 (6th Cir. 1990). Among other things, the FCPA prohibits making corrupt

payments to a foreign official or a foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for political office for the purpose of influencing the acts or decisions of the foreign official in his official capacity, or inducing the foreign official to influence an act or decision of the government or its instrumentality in order to obtain or retain business on behalf of a private concern. 15 U.S.C. 78dd2(a)(1)-(2). Congress, in turn, defined the term foreign official as any officer or employee of a foreign government or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any such government or department, agency, or instrumentality[.] 15 U.S.C. 78-dd2(h)(2)(A). There is no dispute that Haiti Teleco is not a department or agency of the Haitian government. The indictment instead labeled Haiti Teleco as a stateowned national telecommunications company,59 which the Government claimed made it an instrumentality of the Haitian government.60 The jury instructions were based on the same instrumentality theory.61 The FCPA, however, does not define instrumentality of a foreign government. Rather than conduct a statutory analysis to determine the meaning of
59 60 61
26
Case: 11-15331
Page: 40 of 79
the term instrumentality as it appears in the FCPA, the district court simply adopted the Governments conclusory position on instrumentality at the motion to dismiss, jury instruction, and post-trial motion stages. The only court that has attempted to construe the term in light of its statutory context has limited instrumentality to entities that perform governmental functions. See United States v. Carson, No. SACR 0900077JVS, 2011 WL 5101701, *5 (C.D. Cal. May 18, 2011). This Court should hold likewise breach of the context of the FCPA, the rules of construction for an ambiguous statute, and avoidance of constitutional vagueness. Because no evidence was presented at trial that Haiti Teleco performed governmental functions, Esquenazis conviction for violation of, and conspiracy to violate, the FCPA should be reversed; the money laundering and wire transfer counts, which are predicted on a violation of the FCPA must therefore likewise fail. A. The FCPA Must Be Construed to Exclude Payments Made to State-Owned Business Enterprises that Do Not Perform Governmental Functions.
The FCPA is not a model of clarity.62 As noted above, the FCPA does not define instrumentality of a foreign government, and nowhere in the statute are state-owned companies or government ownership of the stock of a privately62

formed business discussed as possible instrumentalities.63 The Dictionary Act, 1 U.S.C. 1-6, likewise offers no definition of instrumentality, and instrumentality certainly does not have an established meaning at common law.64 The standard dictionary definition of instrumentality offers little help.65 Blacks Law Dictionary, for example, defines instrumentality as [s]omething by which an end is achieved; a means, medium, agency.66 But no ends or means are specified in the FCPA. The term thus could potentially encompass: 1) government bureaus akin to a department or agency, like the FBI or SEC ; 2) quasi-official agencies, like the Legal Services Corporation; 3) government-run programs or businesses, like the TVA; 4) programs or businesses that a government has invested in, provided funding for, or licensed, like AIG or GM; 5) businesses that

Ct. 1885, 1891 (2011) ([b]ecause the statute does not define report, we look first to the words ordinary meaning and looking to dictionary definitions); United States v. Santos, 553 U.S. 507, 511 (2008) (When a term is undefined, we give it its ordinary meaning.). See Stewart v. Dutra Constr. Co., 543 U.S. 481, 489 (2005) (relying on Dictionary Act); Nationwide Mut.

have received government tax breaks or other incentives, like nearly every company in the United States; 6) an entire regulated industry, like agriculture, banking, or telecommunications; 7) privatized, government-formed companies, like Fannie Mae; 8) government contractors; or even 9) completely private businesses that step in to take the place of former government-run programs. In short, based on dictionary definitions alone, an instrumentality could include almost anything that accomplishes some unspecified purpose (governmental or not) that benefits from government action or inaction. But it is, of course, the statutory context that controls. See Small v. United States, 544 U.S. 385, 396-98 (2005); see also Russell Motor Car Co. v. United States, 261 U.S. 514, 519 (1923) ([A] word may be known by the company it keeps.). And the statutory context of the FCPA dictates that the term instrumentality should be construed to exclude both state-owned business enterprises that do not perform governmental functions and employees of the same. In the alternative, considering that the FCPAs definition of foreign official is ambiguous, the legislative history, similar statutory use of instrumentality, and the Rule of Lenity require the same construction. Finally, if the FCPA is not construed to exclude both state-owned business enterprises that do not perform governmental functions and employees of the same ambiguity, then the FCPA is unconstitutionally vague as applied to Esquenazi.

The Statutory Context of the FCPA Indicates that Instrumentality Must Be Construed to Exclude Both State-Owned Business Enterprises that Do Not Perform Governmental Functions and Employees of the Same.
The statutory context of the FCPA indicates that instrumentality must be read to exclude both state-owned business enterprises that do not perform governmental functions, as well as their employees, because: 1) the FCPA is aimed at foreign governments; 2) the term instrumentality is to be read in line with government departments and agencies; and 3) treating employees of all stateowned enterprises as foreign officials would lead to absurd results. It is well-settled that in construing terms within criminal statutes, courts should look to the context including the evils being addressed by the language of the statute. See Leocal v. Ashcroft, 543 U.S. 1, 9-10 (2004). The context of the FCPA reveals that Congress was particularly focused on the evils of bribing foreign public officials. In addition to the prohibition covering foreign officials, the statute also prohibits corrupt payments to any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office. 15 U.S.C. 78dd-2(a)(2). And within the definition of foreign official, Congress in 1998 added officers and employees of public international organizations. Congress also created an exception to the FCPA for facilitating or expediting payment[s] made to secure routine governmental action, 15 U.S.C. 78dd-2(b) (emphasis added), implying that non-routine governmental action is still covered by the FCPA. Finally, the 30
Case: 11-15331
Page: 44 of 79
FCPA contains an affirmative defense for reasonable, bona fide payments to foreign officials directly related to, among other things, the execution or performance of a contract with a foreign government or agency thereof. 15 U.S.C. 78dd-(2)(c)(2)(B). This again illustrates an exception from the FCPAs general governmental focus. In short, every time Congress specified the evils that the FCPA is meant to address, it identified political, public, or governmental actors, not state-owned enterprises that do not perform a political, public, or governmental function. The word instrumentality, moreover, should be read narrowly not only in light of the word it seeks to define (foreign official), but also in light of the words it follows: a governmental department or agency. See United States v. Stevens, 130 S. Ct. 1577, 1588 (2010) ([A]n unclear definitional phrase may take meaning from the term to be defined,); United States v. Williams, 553 U.S. 285, 294 (2008) (When taken in isolation, the two remaining verbspromotes and presents are susceptible of multiple and wide-ranging meanings[,] but those meanings are narrowed by the commonsense canon of noscitur a sociiswhich counsels that a word is given more precise content by the neighboring words with which it is associated); Norfolk & Western R. Co. v. Train Dispatchers, 499 U.S. 117, 129 (1991) (Under the principle of ejusdem generis, when a general term follows a specific one, the general term should be understood as a reference to subjects akin
31
Case: 11-15331
Page: 45 of 79
to the one with specific enumeration.). All three neighboring words, official, government department, and government agency suggest a specific governmental position, subdivision, or function.67 As such, the phrase governmental instrumentality should be read to either: 1) be a governmental subdivision; or 2) require the performance of some governmental function. There is nothing in the language of the FCPA to suggest that state-ownership or control of entity is enough. For the same reason, employees of a state-owned enterprise should not be deemed part of the relatively small class of foreign officials unless the enterprise is performing a governmental function similar to a political subdivision.68 Cf. Hall v. American National Red Cross, 86 F.3d 919, 921 (9th Cir. 1996) ({t}he use of the word instrumentality in a general, inclusionary definition does not indicate an intention to encompass entities which are not part of the government, even though they may be governmental instrumentalities in some sense.).

See, e.g., In re Grand Jury Subpoena Dated August 9, 2000, 218 F. Supp. 2d 544, 557 (S.D.N.Y. 2002) (holding that FCPA involves foreign public officials and by definition, violations of the FCPA touch upon official acts of sovereign nations, and every investigation of a suspected violation of the FCPA has the potential to impugn the integrity of the officials of foreign sovereigns); United States v. Blondek, 741 F. Supp. 116, 120 (N.D. Tex. 1990) (concluding that foreign officials are a small class of persons and a well-defined group).
32
Case: 11-15331
Page: 46 of 79
Finally, in construing statutes, courts should avoid interpretations that lead to farfetched or absurd results. See Nixon v. Missouri Municipal League, 541 U.S. 125, 138 (2004); United States v. American Trucking Assns., Inc., 310 U.S. 534, 543 (1940). The use of the phrase foreign official itself suggests that the individuals who fall within the sweep of statute are not simply employees of stateowned enterprises who do not perform governmental functions. This is borne out not only by considering the absurdity such a position would create if courts categorized domestic employees of entities like GM or AIG as officials, but also by the provisions of the FCPA itself. For example, the FCPAs exception for expediting payments for routine governmental actions would apply to actions of governmental employees. But since employees of state-owned enterprises are not governmental employees, the Governments theory would create a gap in which expediting payments to employees of governmental departments or agencies are not criminalized under the FCPA, but similar payments to employees of state-owned enterprises are. Similarly, the Governments position would make a hash out of the FCPAs affirmative defense that allows for payments of reasonable and bona fide expenditures directly related to the execution or performance of a contract with a foreign government or agency thereof. 15 U.S.C. 78dd-2(c)(2)(B). Because the affirmative defense does not include a reference to instrumentality, under the
33
Case: 11-15331
Page: 47 of 79
Governments position there would be no affirmative defense available when otherwise qualifying payments are made to state-owned enterprises. The only way to avoid this absurdity is to read instrumentality as a governmental subdivision, instead of just a non-governmental but state-owned enterprise. The context of the FCPA supports an interpretation of the word instrumentality consistent with a governmental or political subdivision - such as a bureau (like the Federal Bureau of Investigation), a commission (like the Federal Trade Commission), a committee (like the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States), or a board (like the National Labor Relations Board) - that performs a governmental function. While some governmental divisions may operate in the form of a state-owned enterprise, not all state-owned enterprises perform governmental functions.69 Thus, this Court should construe instrumentality to require the Government to prove that a state-owned enterprise performs a governmental function before payments made to that entity are deemed within the sweep of the FCPA.
Cf. 28 U.S.C. 2671 (Federal agency includes the executive departments, the judicial and legislative branches, the military departments, independent establishments of the United States, and corporations primarily acting as instrumentalities or agencies of the United States, but does not include any contractor with the United States).

In the Alternative, the FCPAs Definition of Foreign Official Is Ambiguous, and Should Be Construed to Exclude State-Owned Business Enterprises that Do Not Perform Governmental Functions.
If the FCPA is not construed as set forth immediately above, then the FCPAs definition of foreign official is ambiguous, given the multitude of varied and indeterminate meanings conveyed solely by the dictionary definitions. See Deal v. United States, 508 U.S. 129, 131-32 (1993). The legislative history, similar statutory use of instrumentality, and the rule of lenity also require the FCPA to be construed to exclude both state-owned business enterprises that do not perform governmental functions and employees of the same. a. Legislative History Supports Construing the FCPA to Exclude State-Owned Business Enterprises that Do Not Perform Governmental Functions.
When a statute is as vague or ambiguous as the FCPA, other interpretative tools may be used, including an examination of the acts purpose and of its legislative history. See Garcia v. United States, 469 U.S. 70, 75-76 n.3 (1984); United States v. Pringle, 350 F.3d 1172, 1180 n.11 (11th Cir. 2003). Several courts have looked to legislative history for help in construing the FCPA.70
See United States v. Kozeny, 582 F. Supp. 2d 535 (S.D.N.Y. 2008) (exploring legislative history on the FCPAs local law affirmative defense); United States v. Jensen, 532 F. Supp. 2d 1187 (N.D. Cal. 2008) (exploring legislative history on the FCPAs penalty provisions); United States v. Bodmer, 342 F. Supp. 2d 176 (S.D.N.Y. 2004) (exploring legislative history on the FCPAs jurisdiction).

As detailed in Professor Michael J. Koehlers declaration filed in United States v. Carson, the legislative history of the FCPA is both extensive and complex.71 Although the legislative history also does not offer a clear definition of the term instrumentality, several salient points stand out: 1. The events discussed by Congress that eventually gave rise to the FCPA concerned allegations that domestic companies had made payments to traditional foreign government officials or foreign political parties.72 2. Congress used the terms foreign government official, foreign public official, and foreign official interchangeably during discussions on the bills that eventually became the FCPA.73 3. At the time it was considering the bills that eventually became the FCPA, Congress was aware of questionable payments to state-owned entities. Several draft competing bills specifically included state-owned entities, but the bills that eventually became the FCPA did not.74 4. In 1998, in accordance with the adoption of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (OECD Convention), Congress amended the definition of foreign official to include public international organizations. Congress did not amend the

definition to include officials of public enterprises, despite the fact that that term was included and defined in the OECD convention.75 Based on the foregoing, the legislative history supports construing the term instrumentality to include only those entities similar to departments and agencies that perform a governmental function, rather than businesses such as Haiti Teleco that are merely owned or controlled by a foreign government. b. The Use of the Term Instrumentality in Other Statutes Supports Construing the FCPA to Exclude State-Owned Business Enterprises that Do Not Perform Governmental Functions.
When a term is ambiguous, courts may look to the use of a similar term in other statutes to help determine the meaning of the ambiguous term. See Robinson v. Shell Oil Co., 519 U.S. 337, 341-42 (1997). Several domestic statutes that use but do not define the word instrumentality have construed the term narrowly to require more than just governmental ownership, regulation, or funding. In the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), for example, certain governmental plan[s] are exempt from its provisions. The statute defines such plans as those established by the Government of the United States, by the government of any State or political subdivision thereof, or by any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing.
Koehler Dec. at 17, 385-89, 407, 428, and 435-37. See also DE 283 at 12-13.
75

28 U.S.C. 1002(32). The term instrumentality in ERISA has been construed by courts to be limited to those entities that perform a governmental function. See Koval v. Washington County Redevelopment Authority, 574 F.3d 238, 240-41 (3d Cir. 2009); Rose v. Long Island R.R. Pension Plan, 828 F.2d 910, 917-18 (2d Cir. 1987). Similarly, the Supreme Court has construed the word instrumentalities or agencies under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. 1346(b), 2671, to require a showing of the day-to-day power to direct the detailed physical performance of a contractor. United States v. Orleans, 425 U.S. 807, 814-16 (1976). The Court rejected an argument the mere provision of funds and regulation by the government were sufficient, standing alone, to turn a contractor into an instrumentality.76 Id. at 815-16. In contrast, when Congress intended to include state-owned entities in the definition of instrumentality, it knew how to do so. Indeed, in enacting the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), Congress specifically included entities a majority of whose shares or other ownership interest is owned by a foreign statute or political subdivisions within the definition of agency or instrumentality Similar examples abound. See, e.g., Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. 12131(1) & (B) (defining public entity as any department, agency, special purpose district, or other instrumentality of a State or States or local government[.]); Edison v. Douberly, 604 F.3d 1307, 1309-10 & n.4 (11th Cir. 2010) (holding that the term instrumentality of a State refers to governmental units or units created by them).

of a foreign state. 28 U.S.C. 1603(b). Likewise, in the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Pub.L. No. 111203, 124 Stat. 1376, 1054 (2010), codified at 15 U.S.C. 78m(q)(1)(B), Congress specifically defined foreign government to include a department, agency, or instrumentality of a foreign government, or a company owned by a foreign government, as determined by the Commission. Id. (emphasis added). The presence of such explicit definitions in FSIA and Dodd-Frank regarding foreign-owned entities indicates that Congress knew how to include such language in the FCPA, but chose not to do so. See Central Bank of Denver v. First Interstate Bank, 511 U.S. 164, 176-77 (1994) (Congress knew how to impose aiding and abetting liability when it chose to do so, but it did not use the words aid and abet in the statute, and, hence, did not impose aiding and abetting liability); see also Whitfield v. United States, 543 U.S. 209, 216 (2005) (applying same principle to conspiracy to commit money laundering statute). That absence in the FCPAs definition of instrumentality is significant and warrants construing instrumentality narrowly. Thus, state-owned or statecontrolled entities that are not political subdivisions that perform governmental functions should not be grafted into the definition instrumentality. See Dole Food Co. v. Patrickson, 538 U.S. 468, 475-76 (2003) (contrasting the absence of
39
Case: 11-15331
Page: 53 of 79
language in FSIA with that used in other statutes and concluding that the absence of language was instructive). c. The Rule of Lenity Requires the Court to Construe the FCPA to Exclude State-Owned Business Enterprises that Do Not Perform Governmental Functions.
When, after consulting traditional canons of statutory construction, a court is left with an ambiguous statute, it should apply the well-thought rule of lenity. United States v. Shabani, 513 U.S. 10, 17 (1994). The rule of lenity requires that a criminal statute be strictly construed in favor of the accused so as to apply only to conduct clearly covered. United States v. Santos, 553 U.S. 507, 514 (2008); United States v. Lanier, 520 U.S. 259, 266 (1997). Where, as here, a court is left to guess as to what Congress intended, the rule of lenity should be applied. See Reno v. Koray, 515 U.S. 50, 65 (1995). Ties should go to the defendant. Santos, 553 U.S. at 514. Put another way, unless the Governments position is unambiguously correct, the Court must resolve the ambiguity in Esquenazis favor. See United States v. Granderson, 511 U.S. 39, 54 (1994) ([W]here text, structure, and history fail to establish that the Governments position is unambiguously correct, the court must apply the rule of lenity and resolve the ambiguity in the defendants favor). Indeed, at least one court has previously applied the rule of lenity to the FCPA. See United States v. Bodmer, 342 F. Supp. 2d 176 (S.D.N.Y. 2004).
40
Case: 11-15331
Page: 54 of 79
The Government certainly has not demonstrated that its position on the meaning of instrumentality is unambiguously correct. To the contrary, based on the statutory context, legislative history, and similar uses of the term in other statutes, the Government cannot do so. As such, the rule of lenity requires a narrow construction of the FCPA that excludes Esquenazis conduct. See United States v. Brown, 459 F.3d 509, 523 (5th Cir. 2006) (Given our repeated exhortation against expanding federal criminal jurisdiction beyond specific federal statutes to the defining of common-law crimes, we resist the incremental expansion of a statute that is vague and amorphous on its face and depends for its constitutionality on the clarity divined from a jumble of disparate cases. . . . Instead, we apply the rule of lenity and opt for the narrower, reasonable interpretation that here excludes the Defendants conduct). 3. In the Alternative, the FCPA Is Unconstitutionally Vague as Applied to Esquenazi.
The Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment requires that a penal statute define [a] criminal offense with sufficient definiteness that ordinary people can understand what conduct is prohibited and in a manner that does not encourage arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement. Kolender v. Lawson, 461 U.S. 352, 357 (1983). A statute is unconstitutionally vague if people of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application. Connally v. Gen. Constr. Co., 269 U.S. 385, 391 (1926); see also United States v. 41
Case: 11-15331
Page: 55 of 79
Biro, 143 F.3d 1421 (11th Cir. 1998). The touchstone of fair warning is whether it was reasonably clear at the relevant time that a defendants conduct was criminal under the statute, either standing alone or as construed. United States v. Lanier, 520 U.S. 259, 267 (1997). If the FCPA is not construed to exclude both state-owned business enterprises that do not perform governmental functions and employees of the same either based on the statutory context or through resolution of the statutory ambiguity, then the only alternative is to find that the FCPA is unconstitutionally vague as applied to Esquenazi. As illustrated above, based on dictionary definitions alone, an instrumentality could include almost anything that accomplishes some unspecified purpose (governmental or not) that in some form benefits from government action or inaction. Thus, it certainly is not clear from the face of the FCPA that employees of business enterprises in which a government holds some sort of ownership interest qualify as foreign officials. And unlike the situation at issue in United States v. Kay, whether Haiti Teleco qualifies as an instrumentality determines whether his conduct was criminal or not. See United States v. Kay, 513 F.3d 432, 441-42 (5th Cir. 2007) (noting that, regardless of the meaning of the phrase business nexus, the defendant was was treading close to a reasonably-defined line of illegality). If Haiti Teleco was a purely private enterprise, there would be no FCPA violation, no
42
Case: 11-15331
Page: 56 of 79
violation of Haitian bribery laws, and several of the predicate acts for the money laundering and wire fraud violations would disappear. But the statutory definition provides no basis for Esquenazi to know whether Haiti Teleco or its employees were subject to the FCPA (potentially rendering payments may be criminal) or not (rendering the payments non-criminal). Individuals like Esquenazi are left guessing as to whether the statute covers an entity with which they deal. Consequently, instrumentality is a vague term that escapes comprehension by people of common intelligence - a point echoed by many FCPA commentators. See, e.g., Koehler, The Faade of FCPA Enforcement, 41 Geo. J. Intl L. at 998 (criticizing foreign official definition as vague and ambiguous); James R. Doty, Toward a Reg. FCPA: A Modest Proposal for Change in Administering the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, 62 Bus. Law. 1233, 1238-39 (2007) (Vagueness and ambiguity are the DNA of the FCPA, which on its face is purposefully and for companies seeking to comply, often maddeningly short on specifics.). The Governments theory that state-owned enterprises in some cases (depending on a fact-intensive inquiry) may qualify as an instrumentality does nothing to remedy the complete open-endedness of the threshold issue of statutory coverage. In fact, the vagueness in the statute gives largely unfettered discretion to prosecutors, especially at the charging stage, as to whether a particular business
43
Case: 11-15331
Page: 57 of 79
entity falls within the ambit of the FCPA.77 Such discretion, however, is inconsistent with constitutional Due Process standards. Cf. United States v. Nosal, --- F.3d ----, 2012 WL 1176119, *6 (9th Cir. April 10, 2012) (noting, in context of CFAA prosecution, that we shouldnt have to live at the mercy of our local prosecutor. And its not clear we can trust the government when a tempting target comes along.); United v. Goyal, 629 F.3d 912, 922 (9th Cir. 2011) (Kozinski, C.J., concurring) (noting in context of securities fraud prosecution that [t]his is just one of a string of recent cases in which courts have found that federal prosecutors overreached by trying to stretch criminal law beyond its proper bounds, which is not the way criminal law is supposed to work) (citations omitted). To satisfy the Due Process Clause, the FCPA must either be construed in a limited fashion or be invalidated. See Skilling v. United States, 130 S. Ct. 2896, 2927-28 (2010).
See Ashcroft & Ratcliffe, The Recent and Unusual Evolution of an Expanding FCPA, 26 NOTRE DAME J.L. ETHICS & PUB. POLY at 34 (noting that concerns over, among other things, prosecutors unfettered discretion in the absence of judicial construction to extend the boundaries of FCPA interpretation to fit the facts and circumstances of any particular investigation are worthy of consideration).

The Government Failed to Present Any Evidence that Haiti Teleco Performed a Governmental Function Similar to that Performed by Political Subdivisions Like a Department or Agency.
The Governments case regarding Haiti Telecos qualification as an instrumentality under the FCPA rested on four categories of evidence: 1) the testimony of Gary Lissade;78 2) the testimony of various individuals that Haiti Teleco was state-owned or nationalized;79 3) documents evidencing Haitian governmental appointments to Haiti Telecos Board of Directors and position of Director General;80 and 4) an alleged insurance application.81 None of these categories, however, whether viewed in isolation or combination, establish that Haiti Teleco was an instrumentality performing a governmental function akin to a department or agency under the FCPA. Mr. Lissades only opined that Haiti Teleco was part of the public administration of Haiti a term that is different from the FCPAs

instrumentality and which the district court confessed it did not understand.82 Otherwise, Mr. Lissades testimony was focused on the Haitian governments control over the appointment of officials to the Board of Directors and the Director General position (a right the government had with respect to the board of directors since the 1968 inception of the company as an admittedly private enterprise), benefits Haiti Teleco received (again dating back to the 1968 formation of the private company); Government ownership, via the National Bank, of 97% of the stock of Haiti Teleco; and occasional references to Haiti Teleco as a S.A.M. (even though no formal legal act was ever taken to transform Haiti Teleco into an S.A.M., as was required by Haitian law to qualify as a state-run entity). This evidence, however, does not establish that Haiti Teleco performed a governmental function akin to a department or agency under the FCPA no testimony was elicited on that subject. After all, appealing to rights and privileges that largely, if not entirely, existed when Haiti Teleco was a private company hardly establishes that the company was somehow transformed into a government instrumentality simply because the National Bank purchased stocks in the company.
Dkt. 493 at 37 (in response to Governments request that Mr. Lissade be accepted as an expert on Haitian public institution, the district court responded And Haitian public institutions. I dont know what that means but, yeah).

Whats more, several countervailing pieces of evidence strongly suggest that during the relevant time period (2001-04), Haiti Teleco was not operating anything like a department or agency of the Haitian government. Consider that no law or public pronouncement announced a change to public or governmental status; no effort was made to formally transform the company into S.A.M. as required by Haitian law; no effort was made to alter the by-laws of Haiti Teleco (a point later revealed by the Bellerive declaration); and on October 16, 1996, Haiti passed a law modernizing or privatizing Haiti Teleco. And, given the lack of a change of status to a S.A.M. or revision of the by-laws, the appointments and commissions made by the President of Haiti were in any event not invalid. So uncertain was Haiti Telecos status during this period, that even Mr. Lissade had to admit there was no specific law that has decided that at the beginning that [Haiti] Teleco is public entity, and that if there was a doubt whatsoever, the law came in 2008 vanish completely this doubt by name, by citing Teleco as a public administration.83 When Governments cannot determining whether a state-owned business qualifies loosely as part of the public administration, except with the benefit of hindsight unavailable to the defendant,
83
47
Case: 11-15331
Page: 61 of 79
the evidence can hardly be sufficient to establish the narrower statutory requirements for an instrumentality under the FCPA. The rest of the evidence, even if assumed true, fails to establish that Haiti Teleco qualified as a government instrumentality akin to a government department or agency. Public perception of state-ownership or control cannot be presumed to accurately reflect legal requirements and even if it could, state ownership is not equivalent to government function. Nor do references to S.A.M on letterhead and bills, or instrumentality in purported insurance documents, establish that Haiti Teleco operated as an instrumentality as that term is used in the FCPA. None of these thin pieces of evidence, standing alone or together, provide sufficient proof that Haiti Teleco was providing true government functions like a government department or agency would. C. Esquenazi Is Also Entitled to Acquittal on the Money Laundering and Wire Transfer Counts Because They Were Predicated on Unproven FCPA Violations.
In addition to the FCPA courts, the indictment also charged Esquenazi with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 371 and 1343 (Count 1); one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1956(h) (Count 9); and twelve counts of concealment money laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1956(a)(1)(B)(i) (Counts 10 through 21).
48
Case: 11-15331
Page: 62 of 79
The three predicate specified unlawful activities for the money laundering counts were violations of FCPA, wire fraud, and Haitian Bribery law.84 Because, as discussed above, there was no evidence presented that Haiti Teleco performed a government function, or that its employees qualified as public officials, Esquenazi is entitled to acquittal on the FCPA counts thus removing the first of the Governments predicate unlawful activities for the money laundering counts. The second predicate unlawful activity was wire fraud. But it, too, was directly predicated in part on a putative FCPA violation. Count 1 alleged a conspiracy with the object of violating the FCPA and committing wire fraud as part of the FCPA violation. Absent an FCPA violation, no fraudulent conduct was alleged or proven with respect to the FCPA predicate act sufficient to constitute wire fraud. Thus, the second of the Governments unlawful predicate acts for the money laundering counts is also inadequate.85
84 85
In addition, as argued by Co-Appellant Rodriguez and adopted herein, the Government relied on intra-state wire transfers at trial, which are inadequate to establish the remaining predicate act for wire fraud. See United States v. Robertson, 493 F.3d 1322, 1331 (11th Cir. 2007); United States v. Izydore, 167 F.3d 213, 219 (5th Cir. 1999). The district courts instructions failed to properly instruct the jury on the requirement that the wire communication cross state lines.
49
Case: 11-15331
Page: 63 of 79
The only remaining possible predicate specified unlawful act is a violation of the Haitian Bribery law under 18 U.S.C. 1956(c)(7)(B). But Section 1956 requires that the bribery involve a public official. That term too is undefined, but as established above, the plain meaning is the holder of a public office though not all persons in public employment are public officials, because [a] public officials position requires the exercise of some portion of the sovereign power, whether great or small. Blacks Law Dictionary at 1230 (6th ed. 1990). The district courts instruction impermissibly broadened the definition of public official to include any agent or officer of a public authority.86 Reading the term public official in Section 1956 more broadly than the term foreign official in the FCPA simply cannot be justified.87 Consequently, foreign bribery under Haitian law cannot serve as a specified unlawful predicate act. Absent a specified unlawful predicate act, both the money laundering and conspiracy counts fail. See United States v. Galardi, 476 F.2d 1072, 1079 (9th Cir. 1973) (It should require no citation of authority to say that a person cannot
86 87
In addition, as argued by Co-Appellant Rodriguez and adopted herein, the Government failed to prove that a violation of the Haitian bribery statute amounted to a felony under foreign law as required by 18 U.S.C. 1956(c)(1). The Governments expert testified that a violation of the Haitian bribery statute could be treated like a misdemeanor. See Dkt. 493 at 55. The district courts instructions failed to properly instruct the jury on this requirement.
50
Case: 11-15331
Page: 64 of 79
conspire to commit a crime against the United States when the facts reveal there could be no violation of the statute under which the conspiracy is charged.) Thus, Esquenazi is entitled to an acquittal on all counts. III. THE JURY INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FCPA DID NOT ADEQUATELY CONVEY THE REQUISITE GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTION NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH THAT HAITI TELECO WAS AN INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE HAITIAN GOVERNMENT OR ESQUENAZIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAME Jury instructions must adequately convey all statutory requisites for a criminal offense. See Arthur Anderson LLP v. United States, 544 U.S. 696, 706 (2005). Prior to trial, Esquenazi proposed jury instructions defining foreign official and instrumentality of a foreign government as part of the foreign government itself.88 The district court, however, rejected Esquenazis proposed instruction, opting instead for a far broader instruction that defined instrumentality as a means or agency through which a function of the foreign government is accomplished, and specifically stated that [s]tate-owned or statecontrolled companies that provide services to the public may meet this definition89 The district court then further broadened the definition by providing
88 89
51
Case: 11-15331
Page: 65 of 79
the jury the following non-exclusive list of factors to determine whether Haiti Teleco was an instrumentality: 1. Whether it provides services to the citizens and inhabitants of Haiti; 2. whether its key officers and directors are government officials or are appointed by government officials; 3. the extent of Haitis ownership of Teleco, including whether the Haitian government owns a majority of Telecos shares or provides financial support such as subsidies, special tax treatment, loans, or revenue from government-mandated fees; 4. Telecos obligations and privileges under Haitian law, including whether Teleco exercises exclusive or controlling power to administer its designated function; and 5. whether Teleco is widely perceived and understood to be performing official or governmental functions.90 The district court instructed that the jury need not find that all the factors listed above weigh in favor of Teleco being an instrumentality in order to find that Teleco is an instrumentality.91 The Court, however, totally provided no clarification as to what it meant by official or governmental functions. The district courts jury instructions were inadequate as given. In the first place, the instructions are not cumulative, but non-exhaustive and disjunctive. As a result, that the jury could have determined that Haiti Teleco was an
90 91
52
Case: 11-15331
Page: 66 of 79
instrumentality simply because it provides services to the citizens and inhabitants of Haiti, the Haitian government owns a majority of Haiti Teleco (or provides financial support such as subsidies, special tax treatment, loans, or revenue from government-mandated fees), or Haitian law creates obligations or privileges for Haiti Teleco.92 None of these elements, of course, establish whether Haiti Teleco was performing a governmental function akin to a political subdivision of the Haitian government. Thus, even if the instructions included a requirement that Haiti Teleco actually perform such a governmental function, the non-exhaustive and disjunctive list would allow a jury to find that Haiti Teleco was an instrumentality without considering whether it actually preformed one. This error is only compounded by the district courts broad definition of instrumentality as a means or agency through which a function of the foreign government is accomplished, and its statement, without qualification or explanation, that [s]tate-owned or state-controlled companies that provide services to the public may meet this definition. As for the remaining elements, state appointment of directors and officers and public perception are likewise inadequate. Appointment power is referenced in element two, but appointment power, standing alone or in combination with the

53
Case: 11-15331
Page: 67 of 79
following elements, does not make a state-owned enterprise an instrumentality akin to a political subdivision of the Haitian government. Nor can the public perception element the only element to mention governmental functions answer whether factually and legally Haiti Teleco operated as an instrumentality of the Haitian government. Lastly, the determination of criminal culpability or public perception of Haiti Telecos status is wholly inadequate, especially where government function was never defined by the district court93 and the district court did not specifically instruct the jury that the Government had to prove that Esquenazi knew that Haiti Teleco was an instrumentality of the Haitian Government. Instead, the district court should have instructed the jury that the corrupt payment had to be made to a person the defendant knew or believed was a foreign official, like the district court did in United States v. Carson.94 And, as shown above, both the state appointment and public perception factors are especially inadequate where, as here, the legal requirements for government appointments were hence carried out namely, the change in corporate organization from a S.A. to a S.A.M.

IV.
THE DISTRICT COURT ERRED BY IMPROPERLY APPLYING THE SENTENCING GUIDELINES AS TO LEADERSHIP ROLE, PERJURY AND LOSS AMOUNT Fundamental sentencing law requires that the calculated guideline be
accurate. Failure to do so requires reversal.95 Williams v. United States, 503 U.S. 193, 201-203 (1992); United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2003). Over objection, Esquenazi received numerous sentencing guideline enhancements.96 Three of four objections raised here relate to findings of a leadership role, perjury, and loss amount. A. Esquenazi Did Not Exercise a Leadership Role
The Court imposed a four level increase finding Esquenazi to be very much in charge; the boss of Rodriguez [and] others; was in fact the leader of the organization; not just the President in name, but that he actually participated
Notwithstanding the harmless error rule discussed in United States v. Keene, 470 F.3d 1347 (11th Cir. 2011), the reversal in the present matter pertains to incorrectly calculated guidelines concerning leadership, loss value and perjury. This Court cannot presume that a further reduction beneath the guideline would not occur if the trial court was incorrect in believing it was sentencing a leader or perjurer. Unlike Keene, there was no expression in this matter as to the impact on the sentence were it wrong on the calculations; and in United States v. Lane, 435 F. Appx 857, 858 (11th Cir. 2011), the issue concerned receipt of a thing of value under an admitted child pornography violation. These differences are fundamental and Esquenazi is entitled to reconsideration of the district courts improper guideline calculation. For purposes of these arguments, the Governments case as alleged is presumed, although not conceded as correct.
96
95
55
Case: 11-15331
Page: 69 of 79
in may of the decisions that took place[.]97 Esquenazi challenges the role of leader, suggesting his true factual role was at most a manager or supervisor, entitling Esquenazi to a one level role reduction.98 Section 3B1.1(a) provides for a four level enhancement to the base offense level of any defendant who was an organizer or leader of a criminal activity that involved five or more participants or was otherwise extensive, and a three level enhancement for a manager or supervisor under the same circumstance. Section 3B1.1(b), cmt. n. 4. See Unites States v. Martinez, 584 F.3d 1022, 1028 (11th Cir. 2009); United States v. Yates, 990 F.2d 1179, 1182 (11th Cir. 1993). To receive a four level increase, there must be clear acts of leadership, United States v. Suarez, 313 F.3d 1287, 1299 (11th Cir. 2002) (defendants direction of others on the movement of cocaine); as compared with United States v. Zimmer, 299 F.3d 710 (8th Cir. 2002) (directing another on 30 to 36 occasions in cooking methamphetamine, for a three point manager/supervisor increase); see United States v. DeGovanni, 104 F.3d 43 (3d Cir. 1997) (supervisor of illegal activity, for a three level increase).
97 98
No issue is raised regarding the number of participants or the otherwise extensive requirements.
56
Case: 11-15331
Page: 70 of 79
But the district court here never adequately established over whom Esquenazi asserted any role, and what the role entailed.99 On the Haitian side, the primary players Grandison, Diaz and Forecand were all directed by the receivers of these bribes, namely, Messrs. Antoine and Duperval. Esquenazis relationship with the Haitian side, thus, was not one of control, leadership or management. United States v. Yates, 990 F.2d at 1182, citing United States v. Brown, 944 F.2d 1377, 1385 (7th Cir. 1991); (ruling that a buyer-seller relationship does not make or create an enhanced relationship). The Haitian side was controlled by Robert Antoine. Within Terra, two financial people, Rodriguez and Perez, and in-house counsel, Maes Dickey, were involved with Esquenazi. Esquenazi had an inherent employer-employee relationship which was interwoven with the alleged criminal conduct of bribery. The Governments case was that the business between Terra and Haiti Teleco was both legitimate and illegitimate. Perez, as Comptroller on his own volition developed a relationship with Antoine. In Perezs own words, I made a point of meeting Robert Antoine in an effortto grow the company, for recognition in the companymake more money

While there were others, these people played a primary role in this case.

in the company.100 Perez is the individual who discussed a side payment with Antoine, and Antoine instructed Perez on how side payments would be made.101 According to Perez, Esquenazi authorized a side payment if debt negotiations failed.102 In a display of the mutuality of involvement which evidences a lack of leadership, [Esquenazi] was happy, and both James Dickey and Carlos Rodriguez also congratulated me on a job well done following the Antoine meeting.103 Carlos Rodriguez was the Executive Vice-President of Terra, Manager of the Accounting Department, and an authorized signatory for the company.104 While Rodriguezs conduct can be viewed either in business or criminal terms, depending on ones perspective, there is simply a lack of evidence of Esquenazi directing Rodriguez in any criminal activity.105 Dickey, an unindicted co-conspirator, served as Terras in-house counsel and an officer of Terra. He provided legal advice, drafted and vetted contracts. Dickey

Rodriguez was the individual who signed the JDL Consulting agreement that James Dickey drafted. Dkt. 495 at 8-9. The testimony does not evidence that Esquenazi directed Dickey to draft this agreement, nor did it show that Esquenazi directed Rodriguez to sign it.
58
Case: 11-15331

provided legal advice to Perez as to his activities with Robert Antoine.106 On request by Duperval, and as a favor/obligation to Teleco, Dickey created a corporation for Marguerite Grandison.107 This request was not unusual because Dickey had performed legal work for Teleco in the past.108 Id. At most, Esquenazi exercised management and supervision with more than five participants, where each conducted their own independent acts and judgment, both business-wise and in a criminal capacity. See United States v. Jennings, 599 F.3d 1241, 1253 (11th Cir. 2010); 3B1.1(b), cmt. n. 4. Notwithstanding the proper deference to the district court in this case, it clearly erred in applying the highest level of role enhancement. The court confused business activities and criminal conduct, and improperly found leadership over the Haitian participants.109 B. Esquenazi Did Not Obstruct Justice or Commit Perjury
Four elements must be present under 3C1.1 in order for a court to make a finding that a defendant perjured himself: 1) the testimony must be under oath or affirmation; 2) the testimony must be false; 3) the testimony must be material; and 4) the testimony must be given with the willful intent to provide false testimony

and not as a result of a mistake, confusion, or faulty memory. United States v. Dunnigan, 507 U.S. 87, 94 (1993); 18 U.S.C. 1621(1). In Dunnigan, the court held that: [I]t is preferable for a district court to address each element of the alleged perjury in a separate and clear finding. The district courts determination that enhancement is required is sufficient, however, if, as was the case here, the court makes a finding of an obstruction of, or impediment to, justice that encompasses all of the factual predicates for a finding of perjury. Id. at 95. Dunnigan also recognized that a defendants testimony may be truthful, even if rejected by a jury. Id. This issue concerns both the substantive finding by the district court and the manner in which the sentence was imposed.110 The Government identified certain specific areas of contested testimony: 1) whether documents were invoices (Government) or reports of minutes used (Esquenazi); 2) whether Esquenazi bribed Antoine; 3) the amount of time and questions associated with the agents interview;111 and 4) the destruction of documents.112
There was sufficient back and forth between counsel and the district court to alert the district court to the failure to be specific. See United States v. Gregg, 179 F.3d 1312, (11th Cir. 1999), citing United States v. Geffard, 87 F.3d 448, 453 (11th Cir. 1996).

One last issue concerned financial conclusions marked in the PSIR, although this was never resolved. Dkt. 646 at 35-37.
60
Case: 11-15331
Page: 74 of 79
Clearly, the bribery answer goes to the heart of the case, yet it is merely a conclusory statement underlying all the activities. Ultimately, there can be no argument that Esquenazis testimony opposes the Governments. Yet, the district court never addressed any factual issue, but repeatedly talked about Esquenazis demeanor and the jurys possible dislike of him.113 In fact, the district court prematurely (and improperly) announced its view of Esquenazis testimony in front of the jury: Prosecutor: youre sticking to your story . Esquenazi: May lightning strike me if Im lying. Court: Do you want to go stand somewhere else if youre going to say things like that? Im not suggesting it will Esquenazi: I think Im fine. Court: -- but I dont like people next to me saying that.114 Yet, when it came time to sentence Esquenazi, at no place did the district court find the testimony to be false, material or mistaken or confused. As close as the district court came to ruling was referring to the Governments factual examples. The district court said, But in this case, were not talking about one. Were not talking about two. Were talking about a bunch. And any one of those things might not be the one thing[.] But then spoke to Esquenazis demeanor,
113 114

Case: 11-15331
Page: 75 of 79
And lest you think I personally dislike Mr. Esquenazi, he reminds me almost 100 percent of my very best friend[.]115 Esquenazis protestation of his innocence, notwithstanding the jury verdict, Dunnigan, is simply insufficient to amount to a finding of perjury. C. The Amount of Loss Should Have Been Measured by the Personal Benefit to Esquenazi, Not Terra
A careful analysis of the district courts 2C1.1 findings reveal the district courts failure to distinguish the benefits received by the corporation (Terra) and the individual employee (Esquenazi), who acted on behalf of the corporation. Because Esquenazi, not Terra, was on trial, Esquenazis own personal benefit should have been the determinative factor.116 In United States v. Anderson, 517 F.3d 953 (7th Cir. 2008), the court discussed how to best assess the value received and the individual benefit derived by Anderson from the two properties that were developed as a result of bribes paid, holding we must now calculate the benefit Anderson derived from these two properties, id. at 964, notwithstanding that Anderson acted through his company.
115 116
Although this ground was not specifically raised at sentencing, the valuation was raised and argued. Dkt. 646 at 8-12.
62
Case: 11-15331
Page: 76 of 79
Moreover, in United States v. DeVegter, 439 F.3d 1299 (11th Cir. 2006), this Court faced the question of the proper valuation of the benefit,117 holding that a companys year-end bonus to employees could not be subtracted as a direct cost from the net benefits used to calculate the sentence. Footnote 2 of DeVegter reads [t]he appropriate measure of the improper benefit should be the benefit to Lazard (the company), as opposed to merely any benefit directly attributable to Poirier (the defendant). This is dicta, as it was not an issue in DeVegter. None of the three cases cited by DeVegter are Eleventh Circuit cases, and all use a different guideline, Section 2B4.1. In United States v. Cohen, 171 F.3d 796 (3d Cir. 1999), the salesman for a food company paid bribes to customers and meat managers to induce them to purchase from the company. Cohen held that the improper benefit refers to the net value accruing to the entity on whose behalf the individual paid the bribe. This case is in direct conflict with the Seventh Circuits opinion of Anderson and is the only case that directly addresses this question. The other two cases in footnote 2 are not on point. See United States v. Landers, 68 F.3d 882, 884 (5th Cir. 1995); United States v. Ziglin, 964 F.2d 756, 758 (8th Cir. 1992).
It should be noted at the outset that a different statute, 18 U.S.C. 1343, was charged in DeVegter, leading to the use of the Sentencing Guidelines, 2B4.1.
117
63
Case: 11-15331
Page: 77 of 79
Per section 2C1.1, with the accurate value of Esquenazis personal benefit unclear, the guideline requires the amount of the bribe; therefore, the offense level should drop by two points (level 14). CONCLUSION Based on the foregoing, this Court should direct a judgment of acquittal in favor of Esquenazi, or, in the alternative, reverse his convictions and remand for a new trial or for resentencing.
