Kleptocracy Investigations Defense

In 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice launched an initiative aimed at combating large scale foreign corruption to recover public funds for their intended and proper use. A select team of prosecutors were assembled to focus exclusively on deterring corruption and holding offenders accountable in the interest of protecting public resources.

Robert was the lead case agent for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security against the second vice president of Equatorial Guinea who was paid less than $100,000 annually. This case drew national and international attention when a civil forfeiture complaint was filed in 2011 to recover more than $70 million in proceeds of corruption, based on Robert’s investigative efforts. The investigation revealed that Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue used money from his country to amass assets which included a Malibu, California mansion, Gulfstream jet, a Ferrari and well over $3 million dollars in Michael Jackson that included the iconic crystal-encrusted white glove.

Robert conducts due diligence investigations for private equity fund clients involved in private lending. As part of the firm’s standard operating procedures, every potential customer is vetted prior to a loan being funded. The clients are of the belief that past behavior is indicative of future behavior which allows them to minimize/reduce their risk of a loan being litigated. Additionally, it provides clients a level of due diligence from government clawback.
