The office added that "the condemned had engaged in acts of embezzlement and forgery during his tenure at the airline company and committed acts of electronic extortion, in addition to obtaining privileges and contracts surrounded by suspicions of corruption in his capacity as a commercial intermediary through his relationships with former ministers, businessmen, and officials working in the aviation sector."
