Colombian National Pleads Guilty to Role in Defrauding the Export-Import Bank of the United States of More Than $1 Million
Date:11/23/2009

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Febe Durango-Rueda, 52, a Colombian national, pleaded guilty on Nov. 20, 2009, to participating in a scheme to defraud the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) of more than $1 million, announced Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division Lanny A.
