Georgia businessman sentenced to eight years over Honduras bribery scheme

Carl Alan Zaglin was sentenced to eight years in prison and ordered to forfeit more than $2 million after being convicted at trial in September 2025. The DOJ said he orchestrated hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to Honduran officials to secure more than $10 million in contracts for Atlanco, using a third-party intermediary and sham invoices.

Aldo Nestor Marchena, Francisco Roberto Cosenza Centeno and Juan Ramon Molina previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering. Marchena was sentenced to 84 months; Cosenza and Molina are awaiting sentencing. The case involved procurement for the Honduran National Police through TASA.
