I recently wrote about international corruption hitting my home city of Houston in the context of the Petrobras bribery and corruption scandal. Recently there were several individual criminal indictments against persons who worked for the Venezuelan energy company PdVSA, one of whom lived in Houston and others who had a Houston connection. Now we have the first civil action filed in Houston for the massive bribery and corruption that engulfed PdVSA and those who tried to do business with it over the past few years.
