Were you ever found to have solicited or received bribe money in that American bribery case?
No. A congressman was found to have collected $100,000 while dropping my name, and American law enforcement wiretapped him and investigated thoroughly. He was prosecuted and jailed, but the proceedings did not establish any finding or conviction that I solicited, demanded, or received that money.

the Chairman of the National Economic Council, I was extremely politically exposed and it was not impossible that the congressman had dropped my name to induce some special privileges from US companies. The American law enforcement system got track of this. He was wiretapped, and the amount of $100,000 he had collected as a bribe by dropping my name was found in his residence. The Federal Bureau of Investigation thoroughly investigated the case. The congressman was prosecuted and jailed, and the proceedings did not establish a finding or conviction that I solicited, demanded, or received the alleged bribe money.
What exactly did the US Senate investigation say about you, and what finding do you dispute?
