The filings also provide the first sworn testimony of ZTE staff paying bribes to win contracts.
In statements under oath two senior executives of Liberia Telecommunications Corporation (LTC) said they were each offered 5 per cent of the contract’s value if ZTE was successful in removing UTE as the winning bidder.
One of the men, Alfred D. Bargor, a deputy managing director of LTC, said he received one payment of “$30,000 in cash in a ‘brown paper bag’ … at a hotel in Liberia,” according to the court documents.
The other man Amara M. Kromah, managing director of LTC, also testified of being offered the 5 per cent commission and said “he received at least two bribe payments in cash, also in “brown paper bags.”
“[Mr] Kromah additionally received from respondents an all-expenses paid trip to China, including an unlimited shopping spree and cash,” according to the court documents.
