A former BizJet International Sales and Support regional sales manager has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Department of Justice said October 30. According to court documents cited by DOJ, Jald Jensen worked for the company from 2004 to 2010 and participated in a scheme to bribe foreign officials to win business in Latin America. DOJ said the payments were concealed and funnelled through various U.S. bank accounts, including an account linked to Jensen’s shell company. BizJet provided services to customers in Mexico and Panama. Jensen was extradited from Panama to the United States in September 2026. Sentencing is expected in 2027; the charge carries a maximum five-year prison penalty.

Why it matters

  • The guilty plea resolves the case against a former sales manager in a long-running cross-border bribery investigation.
