U.S. District Judge Melissa Damian ordered that $21,248,434 from foreign bribery and money laundering proceeds be turned over to the federal government, with 90% retained by the government.
Despite his death, prosecutors pursued illicit profits from Naman Wakil's dealings, focusing on funds generated from bribes to Venezuelan officials for food contracts.
Wakil, a rags to riches businessman, was accused of profiting from corrupt Venezuelan government contracts, facing charges before his untimely death led to a civil settlement.
The agreement reached allowed Wakil's wife to receive $2,124,843 from the total of over $21 million in illegal profits garnered from his corrupt actions.
