US businessman jailed for bribery in $10M Honduran corruption scandal

A US businessman has been sentenced to eight years in prison for bribery and money laundering. Carl Zaglin, from Marietta, was found guilty after a trial last September. The case involved corrupt deals with Honduran officials to secure lucrative contracts. Zaglin paid bribes through Aldo Marchena, a Florida resident, to win contracts worth over $10 million with TASA, a Honduran state-owned company. The scheme led to charges against multiple individuals involved in the corruption. Zaglin’s sentence closes a major corruption case involving US and Honduran officials. The forfeiture of over $2 million reflects the scale of the illegal activity. Those implicated, including Marchena and the TASA executives, have already faced legal consequences for their roles.
