In addition to the oil and gas company mentioned in the tweet, also took bribes from a Mexico City bank to pressure allies within the executive branch. The oil and gas company is state owned and Cuellar was to help create policy in favour of Azerbaijan.
Most interesting part is instead of gold bars and hard cash like sen menendez, the indictment states they his wife created shell companies to launder the money, but there is no evidence of her doing any real and legitimate work at those shell companies.... hmm, I think I have heard that before
I wonder how common this is, when there are random ear marks in these mega bills congress passes, with like 12 million going to a country you never heard of to build an LGBT center, etc, how much of that is just foreign countries having people craft policy to send them cash that we will never see again, or follow up with to ensure it was spent properly
