A N D R E W P E A R S E,

called as a witness by the Government, having been

previously duly sworn/affirmed, was examined and

testified further as follows:

DIRECT EXAMINATION (CONTINUING)

BY MR. BINI:

Q Yesterday, Mr. Pearse, you discussed your financial

incentive in maximizing the loan financing for these

transactions.

I'd like to ask you: Did the defendant have a

financial incentive in getting larger loans?

A Yes, he did.

Q How is that?

A Two reasons. He was an employee at the company that was

benefiting from the size of the -- the max -- the bigger the

loan was, the bigger the contract for his employer.

He was also a partner in Palomar. And in relation

to monies I received for the EMATUM and MAM transactions,

which totaled just under $35 million, that was one-third of

the distribution that was made by that company from its

profits. Mr. Boustani was a one-third owner, so he received

the same amount of money as I did in relation to those two

projects. So $34 million that I'm aware of were paid to him.

By maximizing the size of the loans, I maximized the

amount of money that I received to get to the 34 million. If

the loans had been smaller, I would have received less money.

Consequently, so would Mr. Boustani.

Q What did you mean by the contractor benefited?

A In all three -- for all three projects the contractor was

the same company, whether it was building naval vessels or

fishing boats or infrastructure for shipyards in Mozambique.

So the larger the loan, the larger the contract was that was

awarded to the contractor.

As I mentioned yesterday, the original tuna fleet

concept was for a $250 million project. Ultimately, through

the ability to raise more money, the project was finalized at

$850 million.

So what I am trying to say, sir, is that the size of

the project was dictated by the amounts of money the banks

were prepared to lend. The bigger the project, the more money

was paid to the contractor, and the more money that was paid

to myself.

Q And the defendant?

A And the defendant, sir.

MR. BINI: At this time, I would seek to move in

Government's Exhibit 2373.

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: No objection, Your Honor.

THE COURT: It's admitted. You may publish.

(Government's Exhibit 2373 was received in

evidence.)

(Exhibit published.)

BY MR. BINI:

Q If we can look to the bottom e-mail, Mr. Pearse. What is

the date of this e-mail?

A The 31st of July of 2013.

Q Who is it from, and who is it to?

A It's from Jean Boustani to Surjan Singh.

Q What did the defendant indicate to Surjan Singh?

A He says: "Hi, we will need to make the loan 825, please.

25 on top of the 50 to the borrower. Is that possible?"

Q How did you receive this e-mail, Mr. Pearse?

A It was forwarded to me by Mr. Boustani.

MR. BINI: If we can now go to Government's

Exhibit -- or let me ask the Court if I can move into evidence

Government's Exhibit 2375?

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: No, Your Honor.

A (No response.)

Q If we can go to the second page, the e-mail July 31st,

2013, at 10:42 a.m., from you to Mr. Boustani.

Could you read that e-mail to the jury, Mr. Pearse.

A "Can we name a couple of shipyards that borrower would

have contacted? And are there price comparisons we can show?"

Q What were you writing about, Mr. Pearse?

A The background was -- to this question was that I was

aware that Credit Suisse, as part of their diligence process,

would inquire whether or not Privinvest had been awarded the

contract for the fishing boats as part of a competitive tender

process.

Q What's a "competitive tender process"?

A Where there are multiple companies that provide quotes;

or offer to supply the ships, in this case. And they -- the

government of Mozambique has a choice to choose from a number

of different options and potentially by reference to what was

the cheapest or the most efficient, but they would have had

more than one option to look at.

Q Why would that be important to Credit Suisse in

considering the EMATUM loan and bond?

A Because the time period, it was the end of July, 2013.

This was three months after Credit Suisse had made the

original $372 million loan to Proindicus involving Privinvest

as a contractor. The Proindicus loan had increased by this

stage by another 100 million to 472 million. Again, the

$372 million loan to Proindicus had just been increased by

$100 million in June with the same contractor, Privinvest.

And now, Credit Suisse was being asked to consider

another project in Mozambique with the same contractor for

even more vessels. And I knew as a former banker -- or still

current banker, that one of the questions I would have asked

was, why Privinvest? Why did Mozambique choose Privinvest

again for another project so soon after the first one?

MR. BINI: Ms. DiNardo, can we go to the first page?

BY MR. BINI:

Q And, Mr. Pearse, I'll ask you to read the defendant's

response to your e-mail.

A "I'd really prefer that price to be done by CS. We are

very, very comfortable. The trimaran and trawler are pretty

much unique designs. Can't benchmark them to other products."

Q Let me stop you right there.

What did you understand the "trimaran and trawler"

to refer to?

A The -- at this stage, the project was designed to include

fishing trawlers and three offshore patrol vessels. Those

offshore patrol vessels were trimarans.

Q Okay.

A They had three hulls.

Q Three hulls?

A It's a boat with three -- three hulls, yes.

Q Okay. If you could read the rest of the defendant's

response.

A "Let's say they contacted South African yards and Spanish

and Portuguese. Without naming."

Q What did you understand the defendant to mean when he

wrote: "Let's say they contacted South African yards and

Spanish and Portuguese"?

A He was suggesting that Credit Suisse be told that EMATUM

had contacted South African shipyards, Spanish shipyards, and

Portuguese shipyards, prior to awarding the contract to

Privinvest.

Q How did you respond?

A "Can you let me know when you are free to speak?"

Q And how did the defendant respond?

A "Bro, the three names of shipyards, FYI, Damen: Holland;

Fincantieri: Italy; and Navantia: Spain."

Q Do you know if -- well, let me ask first, what did you

understand the defendant to be putting here with these three

names of shipyards?

A He was providing details of competitor shipyards, whose

names could be provided to Credit Suisse as shipyards that had

been involved in tendering for the EMATUM fishing boat

project.

Q Do you know if it was true?

A It wasn't true.

Q How do you know that?

A I discussed it with the defendant.

Q Was this information important to Credit Suisse in

considering this loan and bond?

A It was one of the important pieces of information.

Q Why would that information be important?

A Because it would justify why -- that Mozambique has

chosen Privinvest, and would take away a concern that was in

their mind as to what would -- what would motivate Mozambique

to do another project with the same contractor so soon after

the previous one.

MR. BINI: Thank you. You can take that down,

Ms. DiNardo.

Your Honor, at this time, the Government would offer

Exhibit 2377.

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: No, Your Honor.

THE COURT: It's admitted. You may publish.

Q I am going to ask you, Mr. Pearse, if you can look at the

e-mail from the defendant to you on the first page on

July 31st, 2013, at 00:11.

And take a moment to read that, and then tell the

jury what the defendant was setting out.

A This is an e-mail to me asking for my comments on what

would ultimately be sent by Mr. Boustani to Surjan Singh, who

was at Credit Suisse running the due diligence process. And

it was in response to a question from Credit Suisse as to why

had ADM been appointed by EMATUM as the contractor, and --

Q What's "ADM"?

A Abu Dhabi MAR, the subsidiary and contractor for -- a

subsidiary of Privinvest and contractor for the EMATUM

project.

So the items listed in this e-mail are designed to

help justify why Abu Dhabi MAR was chosen, and it -- also to

give broad details as to the profitability of the project for

Privinvest.

Q What did you understand the defendant to mean when he

wrote: "Let me know if we put all info into one doc and we

send it to Surj"?

A He was asking whether or not, after I commented on these

points, he should then write a separate document, which

included everything that was in here or any other further

comments, and send it to Surjan Singh at Credit Suisse.

Q I am going to ask you about point 4.

Do you see where the defendant writes: "The trawler

cost is 11.8 million" -- is that euro or pound?

A Euro.

Q -- "euro and the cost of the trimaran is 23.8 million

euro"?

Do you know what the defendant meant in point 4?

A That this was the cost price for building each of the

vessels. The trawlers were 11.8 million euro, and the

trimaran cost was 23.8 million euros, I believe was indicated

the price to build.

Q What would that be in dollars?

A I believe at the time, and the exchange rates at the

time, that would have been approximately 14-1/2, $15 million

for the trawler, and 26, $27 million for the trimarans.

Q And what did you understand point 5 to mean?

If you can read that to the jury first.

A "The ToT cost is 150,000 euro for the trawler and 300,000

euro for the trimaran."

Q What did you understand "ToT cost" to mean?

A "ToT" stands for transfer of technology.

As part of the contract, Privinvest were providing

technical specification of the vessels to EMATUM to allow, in

theory, EMATUM to be able to build the same vessels, itself.

And that transfer of technology, that was valued by Privinvest

at 150,000 euros per trawler, and 300,000 euros per trimaran.

Q What would that be, approximately, in United States

dollars, Mr. Pearse?

A Approximately $180,000 for the trawlers, and $360,000 for

the trimarans.

Q Now, I want to ask you about point 6. The defendant

said: "Adding all of that, you are at a 480M$ cost."

What did you understand the defendant to mean?

A Taking all of the above costs, the cost per trawler and

the cost per trimaran, plus the cost of the transfer of

technology, if you multiplied those numbers by the number of

trawlers and trimarans being supplied, he arrived at a total

cost of $480 million.

Q What does that represent?

A I believe that is representing the cost to Privinvest of

building those vessels.

Q Is this the 24 fishing boats and the three trimarans that

would be the EMATUM deal?

A Excuse me. Yes, that's right. Twenty-four fishing

trawlers and three trimarans or offshore vessels.

Q What does the defendant set out in point 7?

A He sets out the elements, which are built into pricing

via any contractor for its goods. So the previous values of

4 -- Items 4 and 5 of his e-mail have been the cost to

Privinvest of building the vessel.

expenses of running a business, to arrive at a additional cost

over and above the pure cost to build the vessels.

Q What was that additional percentage that he indicated

would be required?

A 36.5 percent.

Q Can you tell me, Mr. Pearse, looking at point 8, what

does the defendant then set out?

A He then sets out a calculation, whereby he is trying to

multiply 480 million, that's -- which was the cost to

Privinvest of construction, by -- to add to the 36 percent

margin or profit, cost provision, to arrive at $754 million.

Q Is his math right?

A It doesn't appear to me to be correct, no.

Q Why don't you think it's right?

A Because if I multiplied 485 by 136 percent, which I think

is the correct math, I don't arrive at 754.

Q What do you arrive at, approximately?

A 640.

Q $640 million?

A So, yes, $640 million.

Q After you received this e-mail, what did you do?

A I responded -- sorry, excuse me.

I forwarded that e-mail to an e-mail address called

Dilawar Property Limited, a Gmail address.

Q Whose Gmail address was that?

A That's the personal Gmail address of Surjan Singh.

Q Why were you sending this information to Surjan Singh's

personal e-mail address?

A So that he had the information to be able to convey to

Credit Suisse as to how the -- how Privinvest were pricing the

project, and to be able to describe the profit margin.

Q Why didn't you send it to his Credit Suisse e-mail?

A At this point in time, Surjan Singh's primary role in the

scheme was to ensure that the due diligence process for EMATUM

was -- went as seamlessly as possible.

I was providing this information to him in advance

of it being sent to Credit Suisse, so that he was aware and he

was able to position the transaction as favorably as possible

within Credit Suisse.

MR. BINI: Thank you. You can take that down,

Ms. DiNardo.

At this time, the Government would seek the

admission of Exhibit 2384 and 2384-A.

THE COURT: Any objection to the admission of those

exhibits?

MR. SCHACHTER: No, Your Honor.

THE COURT: They are admitted. You may publish.

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

(Government's Exhibits 2384 and 2384-A were received

in evidence.)

Q Why was the defendant sending you, to your personal

e-mail, the due diligence questions for EMATUM?

A So that we were aware of the questions, that I was aware

of the questions. And in order to be able to assist in

preparing the answers to some of the questions.

Q Did the defendant know you were going to do that?

A Yes, that's why he sent it to me.

MR. BINI: If we can look to 2384-A.

BY MR. BINI:

Q What's that, Mr. Pearse?

that was referred to in the previous e-mail that were to be

asked of the Ministry of Finance of Mozambique.

MR. BINI: And if we can go to 2384-B.

(Exhibit published.)

BY MR. BINI:

Q What's that, Mr. Pearse?

A This is the second document, which addresses questions

which are more specific to the actual project, rather than to

the financial position of the Government of Mozambique.

The previous -- excuse me. The previous document

had focused on the economic situation of Mozambique, who was

to be the guarantor. These questions relate to the underlying

project that was being developed.

MR. BINI: If you could blow that up, Ms. DiNardo,

BY MR. BINI:

Q What's the date of this e-mail, Mr. Pearse?

A The 2nd of August, 2013.

Q Who is it from, and who is it to?

A It's from Surjan Singh to Jean Boustani.

Q What's the subject?

A "DD Trip."

Q What does "DD Trip" refer to?

A Due diligence trip.

Q What was going on at this time period?

A Credit Suisse was doing the background work, the due

diligence, to understand the EMATUM fishing project; and was

about to arrive in Mozambique to ask the questions that were

referred to in those previous documents we've looked at.

Q Looking up to the next e-mail in the chain, what did the

defendant do?

A He forwarded that to myself and Detelina Subeva.

Q Why?

A In order that we had the information Surj had provided in

his e-mail to Mr. Boustani.

this time?

A On this day, yes.

Q Yesterday I had asked you about when you left Credit

Suisse. When was that again?

A Approximately the 13th of September of 2013.

Q Do you know when Ms. Subeva left Credit Suisse?

A I do not know her termination date, no.

Q Do you know the approximate time period?

A To the best of my knowledge, it was approximately the

same as mine.

Q How did you respond to the defendant, Jean Boustani?

A "John, do you know if the fishing lady and Isaltina are

up to speed with the project?"

Q What did you mean to refer to -- who did you mean to

refer to when you said "the fishing lady"?

A The Deputy Minister of Fisheries in the Government of

Mozambique.

Q Who did you mean to refer to when you said "Isaltina"?

A That was a reference to Isaltina Lucas, the National

Director of Treasury at the Ministry of Finance of Mozambique.

Q Were they the people who would be involved in the

approval process for EMATUM on the Mozambican side?

A In this context, the -- they were -- they were to be

involved in the due diligence process for the EMATUM project.

Q Who was going to ask questions of them?

A Credit Suisse.

Q Why would they ask the Ministry of Fisheries in

Mozambique about this tuna fishing project?

A Because it was a fishing project sponsored by the

Government of Mozambique, the most logical ministry to have

oversight was the Ministry of Fisheries.

Q How did the defendant respond regarding whether Ms. Lucas

and the head of the Ministry of Fisheries would be ready for

due diligence questions regarding this loan?

A "I am sure they're not. They just completed today EMATUM

papers. Tony signed as chairman and we have contract in

30 min. Will start crocodiling from Sunday."

Q Who did you understand "Tony" to refer to?

A Antonio do Rosario.

Q As chairman -- when the defendant writes: Tony signed as

chairman, we have contract in 30 minutes, what did you

understand him to mean?

A That he was referring to the fact that Antonio do Rosario

was chairman of EMATUM and was in the process of signing the

contract for the supply of the -- of the fishing vessels with

Abu Dhabi MAR.

Q How much is this loan going to be for at this point?

A I don't recall whether it's 800 or $850 million.

Q And is he indicating that do Rosario has signed-off on

the contract, but the Ministry of Fisheries is not ready to

answer questions about it?

A That is how I read that e-mail, yes.

Q What did you understand the defendant to mean when he

wrote: "Will start crocodiling from Sunday"?

A I understood that to mean that he would start discussing

the project with Armando Guebuza, the son of the President --

the then President of Mozambique.

Q "Crocodiling," what does that mean?

A The defendant had a nickname for Armando Guebuza, the

son, which was "crocodilo." "Croco" means crocodile.

Q How did you respond to the defendant's e-mail?

A "I spoke to him. I told him to focus questions relating

to the project on Antonio and generic stuff specific to

fishing to fishing lady. He understands."

Q Who were you referring to?

A The reference to "him" is to Surjan Singh.

Q Why had you spoken to Surjan Singh?

A I had spoken to Surjan Singh to make him aware that the

Ministry of Fisheries -- the Deputy Minister of Fisheries was

potentially unaware of the project. And to ensure that when

he spoke to her, as the Credit Suisse representative, he ask

questions that reflected the fact she may not know about the

project.

Q What did you write next to the defendant?

A "Antonio needs just to be prepared and you can help him,

so no worries."

Q What did you mean by that?

A I meant that Antonio do Rosario needed to be provided

with full information relating to the project, but it wasn't

so important in relation to Antonio. Because Jean Boustani

could be in that meeting and correct any mistakes that

Antonio do Rosario might make in answering due diligence

questions.

Q Why would that be important?

A It was important to convey to Credit Suisse that all

parts of Mozambican government were aware of, supported, and

understood the need for the fishing project.

If in the process of asking the questions it was

clear to the bank that one of the key personnel was unfamiliar

with the project or didn't support it, it would have -- it

would have materially undermined the due diligence process.

Antonio do Rosario was the chairman, so he would have been

expected to know everything about the project.

MR. BINI: Thank you. You can take that down,

Ms. DiNardo.

Your Honor, at this time, the Government would offer

Government's Exhibit 2393 and 2393-A through C.

THE COURT: Any objection to those documents?

MR. SCHACHTER: One moment, Your Honor, please.

DIRECT EXAMINATION

BY MR. BINI: (Continuing)

Q What is Government Exhibit 2393?

A This is an e-mail from Mr. Boustani to Surjan Singh,

Edward Kelly, and Galina Barakova, which attaches the signed

procurement contract for EMATUM and various corporate

documents that relate to EMATUM as a company.

Q What is attached to the e-mail? If we go to 2393A,

What's this?

A This appears to be the front page of the contract that

was referred to in the previous e-mail.

Q Who are the parties to the contract?

A Abu Dhabi MAR and Empresa Mozambicana de Atum.

THE COURT: Would you spell that for the reporter,

please?

THE WITNESS: Of course, Your Honor. E-M-P-R-E-S-A.

Next word, M-O-C-A-M-B-I-C-A-N-A. Next word D-E, and the

final word is A-T-U-M.

Q If we can go to -- is that the name for EMATUM?

A EMATUM is the acronym.

Q If we can go to second page of the contract. If you can

take a look at the preamble, I would ask you to take a moment

to review that, and if you would, explain it to the jury in

your own words.

A This sets out the reasons why Mozambique has created

EMATUM, the assets that have been approved by Mozambique to be

purchased by EMATUM, namely the vessels, the boats we

discussed before and sets out the fact that Abu Dhabi MAR is

going to provide those vessels under the terms of this

contract.

Q If we go down to assets, are those defined in the

definitions on the bottom of page 1?

A Yes.

Q And is that similar to the preamble?

A Yes, it's the same vessels.

Q And then if we go to the next page, is there a Roman

numeral II subject to the contract?

A Yes, there is.

Q And what is set out there?

A A description of the same vessels.

Q If we can go to the page that has Roman numeral VII.

What does this cost?

A This is the price to be paid by EMATUM to Abu Dhabi MAR

and is described as 785,400,000 U.S. dollars.

MR. BINI: Can we side by side that with 2377, Ms.

DiNardo, and over on the left, with respect to the contract,

could you go back to that price in Roman numeral VII.

Q What was the price in the contract?

A 785,400,000 U.S. dollars.

Q In that e-mail that we looked at earlier today in 8, what

was the price?

MR. BINI: Can you make that bigger, Ms. DiNardo.

A Based on the calculation made by the defendant, the price

was 754 million U.S. dollars.

Q Was that the calculation that you explained earlier you

thought was off by about $100 million too high?

A It's in my opinion that calculation is incorrect.

Q If we can just go back to the contract.

And now I would like to ask you, Ms. DiNardo, if you

could side by side 2393A with 2391, the top of 2391, just the

top e-mail where the CS is speaking to investors.

Q Mr. Pearse, what did you indicate to the defendant at the

bottom of that e-mail that we read?

I just want you to read the last two sentences that

you wrote to the defendant.

A "CS is speaking to investors early next week, so expect

to have a strong view by the end of the week. Proindicus

upsize for Friday is fine - size to be determined Tuesday."

Q Was the defendant aware that you were going to outside

investors in order to finance this EMATUM contract?

A I was not going to outside investors.

Q Was the defendant aware that Credit Suisse was going to

outside investors in order to market the EMATUM contract loan?

A Yes. The defendant was aware that Credit Suisse was

talking to investors in order to market the money.

Q What's the last sentence about?

A The Proindicus loan, which by this date was now had $472

million was increased again in August by Credit Suisse by a

further $32 million. This is the reference to -- so the

reference to Proindicus upsize is the reference to the fact

that the Proindicus loans to be increased again.

MR. BINI: Thank you. You can take that down.

Q Who is it from and who is it to?

A This is from Detelina Subeva to Antonio do Rosario

copying Jean Boustani and myself.

Q And what is Ms. Subeva setting out in this e-mail?

A This e-mail is a briefing paper, a document which is

being sent to Antonio do Rosario in his capacity as the

chairman of EMATUM, which sets out the questions that Credit

Suisse would be likely to ask of Mr. Rosario in that meeting

and it suggests answers to those questions.

Q And what were the -- what was the reason for sending this

e-mail?

A It was to ensure that Antonio do Rosario was briefed on

the details of the project, particularly the elements which

had been used by Ms. Subeva to build a financial model and

business plan for EMATUM.

MR. BINI: Your Honor, would this be an appropriate

BY MR. BINI:

Q Mr. Pearse, when this e-mail comes up, I would like to

direct your attention to the second from the top e-mail, the

e-mail from Ms. Subeva. What is the date of this e-mail, Mr.

Pearse?

A 4th of August, 2013.

Q Who is it from? Who is it to you?

A It's from Detelina Subeva to myself.

Q What's the subject?

A Financial model.

THE COURT: Just again, pull the microphone closer

to you and keep your voice up and I'm sure Madam Reporter is

able to hear you. Go ahead.

Q Do you know what the financial model referred to, Mr.

Pearse?

A Yes.

Q What was it?

A It was a spreadsheet which included a projection of the

expected financial performance of EMATUM as a project.

Q Who prepared that spreadsheet?

A Ms. Subeva.

Q Why was it prepared?

A It was prepared to be provided to Credit Suisse to show

that the EMATUM project was expected to generate significant

revenue over the lifetime of the project.

Q Did that, in fact, occur?

A Yes, the model was sent to Credit Suisse.

Q Did EMATUM actually generate significant revenue over the

life of its project?

A No, it did not.

Q What did Ms. Subeva write in her e-mail?

A "Hi. By the way, does Antonio know not to mention me or

you at all? Because obviously he thought I was from Credit

Suisse. Has Jean spoken to him and that lady from fisheries

should treat them as a separate team?"

Q What did you understand Ms. Subeva to be concerned about?

A She was concerned that Credit Suisse did not discover

that she had been working on the EMATUM project behind the

scenes when meeting Mozambican officials for their diligence.

Q Why would that be a problem?

A Neither she nor I were allowed, under the terms of our

contracts with Credit Suisse, to work during our garden leave.

THE COURT: Go ahead. Continue your answer.

A Plus, had Credit Suisse been aware that she and I were

working behind the scenes, it is unlikely that they would have

approved the loan.

Q Why?

A They would not -- as I understood it, from my experience

at working at Credit Suisse, that fact would have been a red

flag, which would have prevented them from moving forward.

Q Was Credit Suisse aware, as far as you know, that Ms.

Subeva had prepared the financial model for EMATUM?

A They were not as far as I'm aware.

Q How did you respond to Ms. Subeva?

A I told them, but you never know.

Q What did you mean by that?

A I was responding to her e-mail and telling her that I had

told the relevant Mozambican parties and Mr. Boustani that I

was not in a position to control what they said.

MR. BINI: At this time, Your Honor, the Government

would seek to admit Government Exhibit 2398?

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: No objection, Your Honor.

THE COURT: You may publish. It's admitted.

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

date of that e-mail, Mr. Pearse?

A 4th of August, 2013.

Q Who did she write to?

A Jean Boustani and myself.

Q What did she write?

A "Hi, just spoke with Antonio to set a time to speak later

today to discuss the model. He confirmed all meetings are

set."

Q Let me stop you there. What did you mean -- what did you

understand Ms. Subeva to mean when she wrote just spoke with

Antonio to set a timeframe to speak later today to discuss the

model?

A She was reporting a conversation she had with Antonio do

Rosario where she set up a time to discuss the financial model

for EMATUM.

Q What did Ms. Subeva write in the third sentence?

A "He said that" -- I'm sorry, that's the fourth.

"I also told him that if there are any questions

that are too specific, he can say he will revert in writing."

Q Do you know why she wrote that?

A Yes.

Q Why?

A Because the information that was required to prepare the

financial model as detailed. Antonio do Rosario may not have

been aware of all those details. So she was providing Antonio

do Rosario with a response in order to delay having to answer

any difficult question or any question he could not answer

that came from Credit Suisse.

Q What's the next thing that Ms. Subeva wrote?

A He said that Isaltina, the Minister of Finance and HE all

have the feasibility study.

Q What did you understand that to mean?

A I understood that to mean that the feasibility study for

the EMATUM project had been provided to Isaltina Lucas, who

was the National Director of Treasuries; Minister of Finance,

Manuel Chang, and his Excellency, the President of Mozambique,

Armando Guebuza.

Q What is the last sentence in the email from Ms. Subeva?

A "Jean, just ant to confirm if you've had a chance to send

to, discuss with Antonio the answers to why ADM?"

Q What did you understand Ms. Subeva to be referring to

there?

A She was referring to the discussion we showed the Court

earlier as to the justification for why EMATUM had appointed

Abu Dhabi MAR and the process EMATUM had gone through in order

to appoint Abu Dhabi MAR through a competitive process.

MR. BINI: If we can set this side by side to 2375.

If you can blow up the top of that e-mail, 2375, it says why

ADM?

Q Was Ms. Subeva indicating that the defendant could handle

this portion, the why ADM portion of the due diligence?

A Yes.

Q If we go back to 2398 BY itself and I will ask you to

look at the top portion of the e-mail. Actually, let's go to

the middle e-mail from the defendant Jean Boustani. How did

he respond to Ms. Subeva?

A I will do why ADM with Tony, no worries, hayeti habibi.

Q What did you understand the defendant to mean?

A I understood him to mean that he would answer the

questions as to why ADM had been appointed by EMATUM if asked

by Credit Suisse.

MR. BINI: If we can go to the very top e-mail.

Q How did Ms. Subeva respond?

A "Aww. Please remind Antonio not to mention Andrew and

myself to Credit Suisse team. They cannot know we are

involved in this project. If there is a slipup, say he knows

us from the previous deal. Thank you. Habibi.

Q What was Ms. Subeva concerned with in that e-mail?

A She was concerned that Antonio do Rosario would disclose

to Credit Suisse that she was working on the EMATUM project

behind the scenes.

MR. BINI: Okay. You can take that exhibit down.

Your Honor, at this time, the Government would offer

Government's Exhibit 2406.

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

(Government's Exhibit 2406 received in evidence.)

Q If we can go to the e-mail that's on the bottom of page 1

and most of page 2. Let's just look starting with the who it

is from and to.

A It is from myself to Jean Boustani copying Detelina

Subeva.

Q What is the date?

A 17th of August, 2013.

Q And if you would now look to the email, take a look at it

and if you can explain, summarize to the jury what you were

writing to the defendant and Ms. Subeva?

A I'm providing an update how much Credit Suisse was

expected to underwrite of the EMATUM bonds, together with an

estimate of the timetable and the price of the bonds.

Q And if we look to item B, the one that says CS needs to

involve Morgan Stanley to sell the bonds. What are you

setting out there, Mr. Pearse?

A When an investment bank is an underwriter of bonds, it is

common to involve another bank or a series of banks.

Q Let me ask you, what is an underwriter of bonds, what

does that mean?

A It is the bank that is responsible for -- has the

agreement with the company that will -- or Government that's

going to issue the bond and is primarily responsible for

finding investors for that bond.

Q Was Morgan Stanley being considered as joining the group

of banks that would offer and underwrite the bond?

A Yes. In the context of -- in a normal market condition,

the lead underwriting bank would tend to involve -- normally

involved other banks in order to -- for those banks to help

find investors, particularly if the other bank had an

expertise in finding investors for certain types of companies

or Governments. In this case, at this point in time, Credit

Suisse had indicated that they were going to involve Morgan

Stanley.

Q Where is Morgan Stanley located?

MR. SCHACHTER: Objection.

A It is a U.S. investment bank with an office in London.

Q Was there a significance of potentially involving a U.S.

investment bank?

MR. SCHACHTER: Objection.

THE COURT: Read the question back.

(Record read.)

THE COURT: You may answer.

A In my opinion, yes. Morgan Stanley, as a U.S. investment

bank, had better access to U.S. investors than Credit Suisse.

Credit Suisse had its own expertise in investors in Europe and

other parts of the world. But my understanding of why Credit

Suisse wanted to involve Morgan Stanley at this point in time

was to maximize the number of investors it could show the

transaction to and would potentially be interested in buying

and that included U.S. investors.

Q Did Morgan Stanley ultimately underwrite this bond?

A No.

MR. BINI: Now, I would ask to admit Government

Exhibit 2427.

Q If we can look to the e-mail between you and Jean

Boustani and Ms. Subeva. What is the date of this e-mail?

A 30th of August, 2013.

Q What's the subject?

A Bond update.

Q Can you read -- it is lengthy. I'm going to stop you a

few times, but if you could read it to the jury?

A Hayati.

Q What does hayati mean?

A My love, I believe.

Q In what language, if you know?

A Arabic.

Q After "hayati," what did you write?

A "The plan of CS is to launch the bond on Tuesday, 3rd of

September. Launch means it will be public and in the

newspaper. Launch will not happen if there is a big move in

financial markets on Monday."

Q I'm going to stop you there for a moment. What launch

are you referring to?

A This is the launch of the EMATUM bond.

Q What do you mean by if there is a big move in the

financial markets on Monday?

A I meant that if there was a big move in interest rates on

Monday or credit market that Credit Suisse could delay the

launch.

Q Why is that important?

A Because the bonds, the success of issuing the bonds is

dependent on the price, which is a function of the interest

rate on that day, potentially, and also the credit appetite

for the Government of Mozambique risk at the time.

Q "Credit appetite," does that mean desire of outside

investors to purchase?

A Excuse me, sir. Yes, that's correct.

Q Okay. What did you write after you wrote that, about the

financial markets?

A "I believe this is unlikely given this is Labor Day in

U.S., so U.S. markets are closed and U.K. Parliament voted

against military action against Syria yesterday."

Q Why are the U.S. markets important when you are launching

a bond?

A It was a U.S. dollar-denominated bond. So U.S. interest

rates and markets were relevant to the launch of the bond.

Q What did you write after that?

A "If it doesn't launch on Tuesday, 3rd, it will be the

following week."

Q If we can go to the next page. What did you write?

A "They will launch a 500 million to 750 million size with

a price of 8.25 percent."

Q Let me stop you there. Can you explain that to the jury?

A The final size of the EMATUM bond had not been decided at

this time. The hope was that it would be $850 million, but

the bank, Credit Suisse had not confirmed it could place $850

million with investors. So they were proposing to launch --

announce to the investor community a bond of a size between

$500 and $750 million with a price indicated at 8.25 percent.

That is the interest rate that would be paid to investors who

bought the bond.

Q What did you write next?

A "It is possible to up size to $850 million, if the demand

is there, but unlikely. If it launches on the 3rd, it will

close on Thursday, 5th of September."

Q What does that mean?

A The launch is the date that -- the fact the bond is going

to be issued becomes public, becomes a matter of public

record. There is a gap between that date and when the bank

finalizes its order book from investors and closes the bond

transaction and the date at which the bank says I know got

sufficient investors for in this case $500 million.

business days after close of the bond i.e., 12 September.

Q What does that mean?

A After the bond closes, investors have committed to buy

the bond from, in this case, Credit Suisse, there is a period

of time for payment by the investors of the monies for buying

the bond to the bank and, consequently, there is a time period

after the bond closes before the bank was to make payments to

Privinvest under the procurement contract.

Q So which comes first, the bond or the payment to

Privinvest?

A The bank was needed to have investors for at least 500

million from the bond market before it would make the loan to

pay Privinvest.

Q Now, if we can go to the next e-mail on page 1. The

e-mail from Mr. Pearse at 11:51 p.m. on August 30.

MR. BINI: If you could expand that for us, Ms.

DiNardo.

Q Did you write something else to the defendant?

A Yes, I did.

Q What did you write?

A "Oh, one more thing. It's my birthday on 6th, so I'm

having a party in London on 5th night if you would like to

come. Hopefully a double celebration."

Q What were you hoping to celebrate in addition to your

birthday?

A The closing of the EMATUM bond.

Q Why would that be a cause for celebration?

A Because that would personally have meant that I received

a fee, a significant amount of fee for that financing closing.

Secondly, it was -- would have resulted in

Privinvest receiving money under the procurement contract in

relation to the tuna fishing fee that was being purchased from

them.

Q Would that have been profitable for the defendant?

A Yes. As it was for me, it was for Mr. Boustani.

Q And how did the defendant respond to your request to have

this celebration?

A "I will do my best. Ouuuuuu hayati habibi oumri."

Q What do you understand that to mean, if you know?

A The first, I don't.

"Hayati habibi " is my love, my dear. "Oumri," I

don't know. I assume it's Arabic.

Q What did the defendant write after that?

A Happy birthday, my angel. I wish I could, bro, will be

in Paris with Chopstick.

Q Who is Chopstick?

A Manuel Chang, who was the Minister of Finance of

Mozambique.

Q Was that a nickname that you sometimes heard the

defendant used to refer to him?

A Frequently, yes.

Q Do you know, or did you have any discussions with the

defendant whether he went to Paris with Manuel Chang?

A I do not know whther he went to Paris, but I was aware

that Manuel Chang was in the South of France at the estates of

Iskandar Safa the weekend that followed this Friday.

Q What, if anything, did the defendant tell you about that?

A I had sent the defendant a presentation relating to a

fund we were developing, an investment fund idea that we were

developing, and he told me he was meeting with Manuel Chang,

wanted to show him the proposal.

MR. BINI: At this time, Your Honor, the Government

would seek to admit Government's Exhibit 2428.

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: (No response.)

THE COURT: And again, if defense counsel is having

trouble finding it, you can publish it just to defense counsel

for his review electronically, then he can advise the Court if

he has an objection. That will help move things along.

MR. SCHACHTER: No objection, Your Honor.

THE COURT: It's admitted. You made publish.

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

(Government's Exhibit 2428 was received in evidence.)

(Publishes exhibit to the jury.)

BY MR. BINI:

A Yes, it is.

to you. Subject: Re: Bond update, what did Ms. Subeva

write?

A "I'm sure. Do we have confirmation that it will

definitely -- definitely be part of the JPM Index?"

Q How did you respond?

A Apparently, yes.

Q What is the JPM Index?

A JPM stands for JP Morgan. It's a U. S. Investment bank

that publishes an index of emerging market bonds.

Q Is it important to -- if you have a bond, to get into the

JP Morgan Index?

A It is beneficial to get into the JP Morgan Index.

Q Why?

A Because bonds that are listed in the JP Morgan Index are

required to be bought by investors that use that index as a

means to sell all their bond products to other investors,

consumers.

So a bond that was listed in the JP Morgan Index

would have more buyers, potentially, more buyers than a bond

that was outside the JP Morgan Index.

Q Why is that?

A Because more investors were required to buy the bonds

that were in the index because of the underlying products they

sold their customers.

Q Is the United States market important in the bond market?

MR. BINI: I wandered. I apologize, Your Honor.

BY MR. BINI:

Q Looking to the top of Government's Exhibit 251, what is

that exhibit?

A That is the front page of the offering circular for the

first $500 million of the Mozambique or EMATUM bond.

Q What is an offering circular?

A This is the document that is sent to investors to enable

them to decide whether to invest in the bond.

Q And does it say at the top, "USD five hundred thousand --

excuse me, $500 million loan participation note due

September 2020"?

A Yes.

Q What does that mean?

Q When you look down to the bottom of the first page, does

THE WITNESS: Yes, Your Honor.

BY MR. BINI:

Q And what is the date of this loan participation note

A Ten September, 2013.

Q Were you still an employee of Credit Suisse when this

launched?

A Yes.

Q Had you worked on this project?

A I worked on the project behind the scenes, but not while

at Credit Suisse.

Q Did anyone at Credit Suisse know that you had been

working behind the scene in the emails that we have been

looking at this morning?

A Yes.

Q Who?

A Surjan Singh.

Q Did Detelina Subeva also know your role in the EMATUM

loan?

A Excuse me. Yes, she did, as well.

Q Did anyone else know at Credit Suisse that you were

secretly working on this project?

A Not that I'm aware of.

Q Do you know how this offering circular was used?

A Generically, yes.

Q How?

A It was sent by Credit Suisse and BNP Paribas to their

clients who invest in bonds of this type.

Q Who would be responsible for that role at Credit Suisse,

if you know?

A The team was called a debt capital markets team, and at

the time, it was headed by a gentleman called Chris Toughy.

Q Who's Chris Toughy?

A He was a managing director at Credit Suisse, in charge of

the bond capital markets desk in Europe.

Q Was his role similar that that gentleman, Dominic

Schultens you mentioned earlier?

A No, he was much more senior.

Q Did he also market loan instruments?

A In that respect, yes. Mr. Toughy was responsible for a

team that sold bonds in the same way that Dominic Schultens

was responsible in my group for selling loans.

Q Okay. And if we go to page 15 of this document. The

offering circular. It's 20 in the document.

MR. BINI: Ms. DiNardo, I'm going to ask about the

borrower on page 15 of the offering circular, Ms. DiNardo. I

think it's up on 16. Right after lender. Do you see that?

If you could blow that up?

BY MR. BINI:

Q Is there a portion that summarizes the loan agreement?

A Yes.

Q Why is that summarized in this offering circular?

A Because the type of bonds that were issued were known

technically as loan participation notes, which means that the

bond holders would receive all the money that was paid by

EMATUM on the loan, would be passed through to them as bond

holders.

Q And is there a section just below that --

MR. BINI: If we could expand that for the jury, Ms.

DiNardo? It says "Use of Proceeds of the Loan."

buy 27 vessels, an operation center and related training.

Q Is that the material that we saw set out in the

procurement contract between EMATUM and Privinvest?

A Yes.

Q I would like to now ask you to go to page 44 of the

offering circular.

MR. BINI: You can go one page up. Ms. DiNardo.

portion where it says "The Loan Documents."

BY MR. BINI:

Q Mr. Pearse, what appears at page 44 of the offering

circular?

A It's a summary page which relates to the fact that the

loan documents are appended and attached to the offering

circular.

Q Okay. And if we go to the next page, what is this?

A That is a copy of the front page of the loan agreement

between Credit Suisse and EMATUM.

Q Yesterday, we spent some time going through the

Proindicus loan agreement. Is this loan agreement similar to

that one?

A Yes.

Q Why is that?

A This was the loan agreement that had been agreed between

the bonds that were issued to investors.

Q Was this loan agreement sent with the offering circular

to potential investors?

A It's part of the offering circulars, included within it.

Q And does this loan agreement -- if we go to the next page

and look at the table of contents.

THE COURT: Cough drops, nothing more. Let the

record reflect nothing more.

Go ahead.

If you need anymore, we've got more?

JUROR: Thank you.

THE COURT: Okay.

MR. BINI: Thank you.

Able to get 251 up?

If it's not working, I can, with the Court's

permission, do this old school with the projector.

THE COURT: Yes, you can use the projector. It's

called the Elmo, which I used to think meant Electronic Light

Modification Ordinance. It is the name of the company that

makes the machines that everyone's talking about. We use the

Elmo.

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

BY MR. BINI:

Q On page 13, does it set out the purpose of the loan?

A Yes.

Q And is that the -- is that to finance the project?

A Yes.

Q Okay. And is the project defined earlier as what we have

been talking about, the EMATUM fishing vessels?

A To the best of my recollection, yes.

Q Okay. And does this have -- this is the loan agreement

that we had yesterday -- a definition of the word "clause"

regarding compliance of laws?

A Yes, it does.

Q And if you can just summarize what does this compliance

with laws clause state in your own words?

A It relation to the clause 19-2A, it's referring to

compliance with anti-corruption laws i.e., what that means is,

borrowers, promising not to pay bribes or kickbacks.

Q Is this part of what went to investors?

A Yes.

Q Okay. Now, I'm going to ask you --

MR. BINI: Your Honor, I would ask to admit

Government's Exhibit 2783 and 2783A.

Q And if we look to -- what did you ask?

documents.

Q Okay. This is all the way in 2014, is that right?

A Yes.

Q Okay. What is 2783A?

A I'm sorry. I can't see what that is.

Q Who if anyone did you negotiate with Privinvest regarding

the fee or kickback to Surjan Singh?

A The defendant, Jean Boustani.

Q Does the loan agreement in any place describe the

payments to you or Surjan Singh?

A No.

Q In your experience, is that something that would have

been important to investors?

MR. SCHACHTER: Objection.

THE COURT: Overruled.

In your view, would it have been important to

investors to know you were getting bribes and kickbacks?

one other question. Mr. Pearse, would Credit Suisse have

funded this loan if they had known that Surjan Singh was

getting kickbacks?

A No.

A "Dear Singh and Nicholas. It was with some concern that

we, the Government of Mozambique, took note that there is an

emission of sovereign bond of the Mozambican Government to

finance EMATUM Enterprise. This information being divulgate

in the economic international media, including Bloomberg.

Many financial institutions in and outside the country

informed us that they have received from JP Morgan an

invitation to participate on that operation. To have a better

clarification on the matter, we hereby kindly request your

help in order to find in the financial agreement or in the

guarantee an article where it allows the issues of sovereign

on behalf of the Government of Mozambique. We would also like

to attract your attention to article 35 of the finance

Agreement. In order to avoid much more constraints as this

matter is turning, we kindly request your response as soon as

it is possible."

about?

A The issue of the EMATUM bond.

Overruled.

THE WITNESS: She was expressing concern that it

appeared that the Government of Mozambique had issued a

sovereign bond.

She is asking Surjan Singh and Nicholas Samara to

clarify under what terms of the loan agreement, financial

agreement referred to earlier, that there is an article or

provision that allows for the issue of a sovereign bond on

behalf of the Government of Mozambique. She is also

referencing article 35 of that agreement.

Q What was Ms. DeLucas' position in Mozambique?

A She was at this time national director of treasury.

Q She's indicating that she didn't know about this?

A That is correct. Yes.

Q Okay.

A Sorry could I --

Q Could you explain --

A -- that answer a little bit more fully.

Does this refer to the letter that -- she is

explaining through this letter that she was surprised or did

not know about the issue of the EMATUM bond.

Q And now, I'm going to ask you to look at who responded to

that email. Who's that from?

A It was from Jean Boustani.

Q And what did Mr. Boustani write back after Ms. DeLucas

note?

A "Dear Surjan, after discussing this matter with" --

THE COURT: Slow it down. It's Vader, not Rock.

Take your time. Court reporter's got to hear it. Loud and

slow.

Go ahead.

THE WITNESS: I apologize.

A "After discussing this matter with Madam Lucas, we

realized that there was a misunderstanding. Since the bond is

not issued directly from the Ministry of Finance of

Mozambique, but from the private company, EMATUM, supported

and guaranteed by the MoF, so all clear, and no issues at all.

Thank you."

Q What did you understand the defendant to mean?

A He was responding -- he was responding in relation Ms.

Isaltina Lucas' letter which had been specifically referencing

the issue of a sovereign bond, and he's distinguishing between

a sovereign bond and the EMATUM bond that was issued, which

was a loan participation note guaranteed by the Ministry of

Finance of Mozambique.

Q Did Ms. DeLucas respond?

A Subsequently, yes.

Q What did she write?

A "Clear."

Q Did this email then get forwarded to you?

A Yes, it did.

Q By whom?

A By Mr. Boustani.

Q And how did you respond to Mr. Boustani on September 10,

2013?

A "Bro, this is okay, but not really good enough. Can you

get the full email out of him?"

Q What did you mean when you said, this is okay, but really

not good enough?

A The letter that Ms. DeLucas had sent to Credit Suisse was

complaint letter. It indicated that Credit Suisse had issued

a bond on behalf of Government of Mozambique without having

the approval of the Government of Mozambique.

This was a serious matter within Credit Suisse. It

was a breach of contract and protocol. So, the most

appropriate response was from the Ministery of Finance, not

from the contractor, Mr. Boustani.

So, I felt that Ms. DeLucas should send a more full

explanation as to why the complaint would be withdrawn, not

simply reference the explanation given by Mr. Boustani.

MR. BINI: Your Honor, I understand that the laptop

is working again. Can I switch back to that and turn this

off?

THE COURT: Yes, you can.

Can we do that, Mr. Jackson?

Chris Langford is the father of the David Langford,

who established the companies in the British Virgin Islands,

that was Palomar Holdings, and Jean Boustani was a partner in

Palomar Holdings.

Q How did the defendant respond?

A "ADM will transfer $49,200,000 to Palomar. I think we

need to conduct the shareholders' loan of PH first, as agreed,

and the rest goes to the others. Do you want to leave some

OPEX, up to you my friend."

Q What did you understand the defendant to mean?

A Firstly, that Abu Dhabi Mar would pay Palomar $49,00,000

as a fee for advising on the EMATUM loan.

Secondly, that from that $49,200,000, a shareholder

loan which had previously been made would be repaid. And

after deducting that amount, the rest of the $49,200,000

would be paid to the owners.

He then asked me if I would like Palomar to retain

some of those monies in Palomar's account for operating

expenses.

seek to admit Government's Exhibit 2493.

Q If we can look at the top email. Mr. Pearse, what's the

date of this email?

A First October, 2013.

Q What did the defendant write to you?

A "Sure. What I'm trying to say, Bro, is that we have a

green light to package as much as we want, but the IMF celing

will remain a problem. Anything we secure as extra seating

will be for us though."

Q What did you understand the defendant to mean?

A I understood that to mean that he had the political

support to raise as much financing as possible in Mozambique,

subject to not exceeding the IMF ceiling, the IMF's ceiling

was the maximum amount of borrowing that had been agreed

between Mozambique and the IMF for commercial borrowing.

Q Why was that important?

A It was important because that was -- the IMF ceiling was

a number that was published by the IMF from time to time. It

changed from time to time.

But it was publicly available, as was the total

amount of borrowing that Mozambique had been made. So any

bank who was to lend would know the size of the difference

EXAMINATION CONTINUING

BY MR. BINI:

Q What had happened around this time, October 2013?

A VTB had underwritten a further 350 million of EMATUM

bonds.

Q So we had the 500 million from Credit Suisse, and now 350

additional sold by VTB?

A Yes.

Q What's the next sentence from Mr. Berliner?

A Citi should now confirm receipt (we haven't received

confirmation yet) and then Citi shall transfer the money to

Credit Suisse as facility agent.

Q Can you explain what that meant?

A The paying agent is the person in a bond transaction, it

was the entity in the bond transaction that receives all

payments on behalf of bondholders and pays all banks'

bondholders. In the same way that I described yesterday, a

facility agent in a syndicated loan is the entity that

receives monies from borrower and pays it to the banks in the

syndicate. The paying agent has the same -- the same function

in respect of multiple bondholders.

When a bond is first sold, the money flows from the

investors through the paying agent, through the facility agent

back to the borrower. So Mr. Berliner is describing the chain

of events that occur when the investors pay their money to the

paying agency to buy the bond. That was Citibank. And then

the paying agent then transfers -- transfers it to Credit

Suisse, who was the facility agent under the loan. And then

Credit Suisse would then pay those monies as directed by the

borrower to Privinvest.

Q Okay, if we can go to the top e-mail, what did Felipe

Berliner send then?

A He sends a copy of the payment instruction from Citibank

to Credit Suisse.

Q And if we look to the line that starts with 32A.

MR. BINI: If you can blow that up or make it

yellow, Ms. DiNardo. 32A.

Can you blow it up? It's very hard to read.

BY MR. BINI:

Q How much was being sent and to whom?

A $312 million -- sorry, $312,900,000 was being sent.

Q Where was that to go eventually?

A In -- in this instruction it's being sent from Citibank

to Credit Suisse.

Q And do you know where it was supposed to go from there?

A From there, Credit Suisse was to send it, as directed by

the borrower, to Privinvest.

Q Okay.

A Excuse me, Abu Dhabi MAR.

Q Thank you.

on the numbers that were used to calculate the final

distribution, the final amount that was paid to the fund.

Q How much did you ultimately receive for the EMATUM

A $23.4 million.

A This is wording that Ms. Subeva is proposing be sent to

Credit Suisse.

Q Why?

A In response to a request from Credit Suisse who had been

contacted by a financial reporter asking questions about

Credit Suisse's involvements -- involvement in the loans to

Mozambique.

Q Was an article regarding this issue of concern to you and

the Mozambique officials who were part of this criminal

scheme?

A No, the proposed response from Credit Suisse to the

financial reporter was of concern.

Q Why?

A Because Credit Suisse had proposed in that response to

refer to the Proindicus loan.

Q Why was that a concern to the Mozambican officials, you

and the other members of this criminal scheme?

A At that time the only Mozambican loan that was known to

the public was EMATUM. Proindicus -- the loan to Proindicus,

rather, was a secret and had not been communicated to the

outside world.

Q And did you later learn that Mozambican, certain

Mozambican officials were deliberately not telling the IMF

about the Proindicus loan?

MR. SCHACHTER: Objection.

Do we have any issues to discuss outside of the

MR. JACKSON: Yes; briefly, Your Honor.

THE COURT: I will hear first from the Government,

then from defendant.

Any issues from the Government?

MR. BINI: Not from the Government.

THE COURT: Okay, from defense counsel; yes.

MR. JACKSON: Thank you, Your Honor.

Your Honor, at a pretrial conference in this case

one of the -- one of the representations that was made by the

Government to the Court was that this is not an omissions

case. That was at the August 21st, 2019 pretrial conference

when Ms. Moeser was addressing the Court and she said: This

is not an omissions case, Your Honor. This is a

misrepresentation case.

And we understood that that made sense, Your Honor,

because pursuant to clear Black Letter Law, the Chiarella

decision, among others, this isn't a case that could be

charged as an omissions case.

We would like to voice , Your Honor, a continuing

objection to the Government's repeated injection into the

record of questions that are pure omissions questions.

For example, Mr. Bini asked the witness the

question:

Did the loan agreement in any place describe payment

to you and Singh?

Now, we think, Your Honor, that that is a clear

violation of what the Government represented to the Court it

would do in this case and what the law allows the Government

to do.

THE COURT: Well, let me put it to you this way,

Mr. Jackson, I have not charged the jury yet with respect to

what the law is that they have to apply to the facts of this

case as they find them. We have not even had our charge

conference yet. So I think you ought, to use an expression

that someone who is, essentially, a non-skier should really

use. You are getting out over your skis when you start down

this road.

I do not think this is the time to talk about what

the law is or is not in the case. Right now the jury is

hearing facts and hearing testimony from this witness, and you

will be allowed to cross-examine quite extensively, to the

extent you wish to do so , about what the witness has

testified to on direct.

But if you are now getting into the question of what

the law is in this case, as I have told the Government and as

I have told defense counsel throughout, I will give the law to

the jury at the appropriate time and they will apply the law

as I give it to them to the facts as they find them.

So I think your concerns are, at best, premature.

MR. JACKSON: May I respond, Your Honor?

THE COURT: That's why I am here.

MR. JACKSON: Your Honor, we, of course, understand

appreciate that the Court will give all the instruction on the

law.

I think that the Government is coming very close, if

not already surpassing what the Second Circuit has warned

repeatedly the Government isn't allowed to do with regard to

the proof.

Putting aside the law, in the United States versus

D'Amelio, the Second Circuit made clear that where the proof,

itself, regardless of the instruction of the law, but where

the proof, itself, alters the core of criminality that is

presented in the case, that can constitute a constructive

amendment of the Indictment.

And so, Your Honor, we are only -- we defer to

the -- to the wisdom of the Court in terms of the

administration course, but we wanted to make a record to

explain our objection and to warn the Government that we

believe they are proceeding past the point that the Second

Circuit has said is appropriate, in terms of the proof

regardless of what law the Court will, ultimately, wisely

determine is appropriate to instruct the Court on.

THE COURT: I am sure that the Government is duly

warned by the defendant, and the Government will be so advised

and so warned by the defendant.

Now, anything else?

MR. JACKSON: Yes, Your Honor, just one more thing.

(Continuing)

MR. SCHACHTER: Your Honor, we have one additional

issue. It relates to a number of exhibits that we believe the

Government may seek to offer this afternoon.

THE COURT: Let me stop you right there. That's why

God invented lunch. Lunch is not for wimps. Lunch is a time

when counsel discuss the question of documents that might or

might not come in. After you have your non-wimpy lunch of

discussing that, let me know if after you have had that

discussion there are documents that you would like to discuss

at the sidebar. That way we will have a more productive

discussion. While some of us will be actually eating, some of

you will be working through lunch at this lovely space that is

available.

MR. SCHACHTER: I apologize if I wasn't clear. I

have already conferred with the Government and they do intend

to introduce these documents. The only thing that I was

uncertain about is whether that's going to be this afternoon

or tomorrow.

THE COURT: It won't be tomorrow.

MR. SCHACHTER: I'm sorry, Monday. Although

tomorrow, I am free.

THE COURT: Well, I'm not because I'm going on a

walk, believe it or not. It's not going to be a run, I assure

you. It is a walk that has to do with to help prevent

suicide. So I am going for that walk tomorrow. I just want

the record to reflect that yes, occasionally, I do walk,

contrary to appearance.

Yes, I hear you. To the extent that when we come

back, before we bring the jury in, we need to have a

discussion about particular documents, you will present them

to me and I will make rulings to help move this along well in

advance of the time of the jury, which, as you know, is quite

precious.

Anything else?

MR. JACKSON: No, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Have a nice working lunch.

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

(Lunch recess.)

AFTERNOON SESSION

(In open court - jury not present.)

presiding.

THE COURT: Good afternoon. We have the

appearances. I see counsel are present. Can we have the

defendant produced? And then we will address any procedural

issues we need to address.

Please be seated, ladies and gentlemen of the

public. Thank you.

MR. BINI: Your Honor.

THE COURT: Good afternoon. Wait for the defendant

to be seated.

MR. BINI: Yes, Your Honor. Thank you.

THE COURT: Thank you.

(Defendant present.)

THE COURT: Yes. Do we have any issues to address?

MR. BINI: Yes, Your Honor. I think there are still

certain e-mails. We did reach agreement on one e-mail. There

are still certain e-mails that we don't have agreement on.

THE COURT: All right. Do we need to talk about

those at sidebar or should we talk about them in open court?

I don't know what the nature of the e-mails is.

Sidebar, on the record or open court?

MR. BINI: Whichever.

THE COURT: You guys know what they are.

MR. JACKSON: They are not sensitive, Your Honor.

THE COURT: They are not sensitive. Okay. So let's

have them described by the Government. I take it you are

offering and there is an objection?

MR. BINI: Yes, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Why don't you publish them so I can see

what they are, or hand them up. Whatever is easier for you

folks.

MR. BINI: I can hand you up a copy.

THE COURT: Just hand them to Mr. Jackson, he'll

hand it up to me. Thank you.

So you've got the same package and defense counsel

is starting, I take it, with GX 3127; is that right?

MR. SCHACHTER: Okay.

THE COURT: I'm asking.

MR. JACKSON: Yes, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Or whatever you want. You tell me.

MR. BINI: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I miss 5112?

MR. SCHACHTER: I think 5112 is where we are going

to start.

THE COURT: If you want to publish them

electronically so we are literally on the same page? That

might be easier. The first one I've got in this package is

3127.

MR. SCHACHTER: Yes, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Go ahead. The first one is?

MR. BINI: Government's Exhibit 5112.

THE COURT: Wait until it pops up on the screen. I

can't see it yet.

MR. BINI: The top e-mail.

THE COURT: Okay.

MR. BINI: This is an e-mail from Mr. Pearse to

Gwendolyn Arnold and Markus Kroll.

THE COURT: Okay, it is offered by the witness.

Let me just turn to defense counsel, what is the

problem with this document that you can cross-examine the

witness about and that he authored? I'm assuming there is no

question that he authored it.

MR. SCHACHTER: Yes, Your Honor. But, Your Honor,

it's not relevant to Mr. Boustani's state of mind and,

therefore, we don't think it's relevant to any issue of

consequence in this case.

THE COURT: Well, on the issue of relevance I am

going to overrule it. You can cross-examine him but that's

not enough to keep it out.

What else do you have, other than relevance? On

that document, anything else?

MR. SCHACHTER: No, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Okay, so you are overruled on that.

Your record is preserved for sure for sure.

Okay, next.

MR. BINI: Government's Exhibit 3127.

THE COURT: 3127, okay.

MR. BINI: The top e-mail.

THE COURT: Offered by the defendant.

All right. What's the issue with that? It's

seemingly something along the lines of an admission -- unless

you are contesting that the defendant actually authored it,

what's the objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: Your Honor, it is also irrelevant.

If the Court turns to the second page of the exhibit, this

relates to an entirely different transaction, one relating to

Mr. Pearse's desired acquisition of something called San Leon

Energy and, therefore, is not relevant to any issue in this

case.

THE COURT: Well, what is your response to the

relevance issue? Should I keep it out under 403 for

confusion, waste of time? Why do you want it in?

MR. BINI: Because, first of all, San Leon Energy is

something that is acquired by Palomar Natural Resources so it

is relevant because the defendant and Mr. Pearse put their

money into that, which includes that -- that eventually

Palomar Natural Resources includes --

THE COURT: Slow it down. Vader, not Robin or Woody

Allen. Go ahead.

MR. BINI: Which includes that United States

concession, so they invest money in that.

THE COURT: I'm going to overrule the objection and

you could, again, point out how it's related or not related on

cross or you can make it clear when you examine Mr. Pearse

about what it addresses and what it doesn't.

So the objection is overruled.

MR. SCHACHTER: Your Honor, in addition to the point

Mr. Bini made, not addressing the objection to the exhibit,

but a separate matter. It is unclear to me, until Mr. Bini

said this, as to whether he intends to go into something

called Palomar Natural Resources which is not discussed in the

indictment. It is no part of this case, and I don't know if

that's a subject that he intends to explore with Mr. Pearse,

but it has nothing to do with the charges. We have gotten no

404(b) notice with respect to issues relating to some

different entity called Palomar Natural Resources or --

THE COURT: Well, let me ask the Government.

Is this an entity that the defendant has an interest

in?

MR. BINI: 2843.

matter asserted?

MR. BINI: Yes.

THE COURT: In which case, it would be hearsay and I

keep it out.

MR. BINI: Your Honor, I would note that we believe

the co-conspirator exception applies, because the Government

intends to ask the defendant regarding, at this point, whether

Mr. Shultens is joined with the defendant and others in

actively lying about the existence of the Proindicus and MAM

loan.

THE COURT: Do you need the document to ask him that

question? I don't think you do. Your right, it's about the

admissibility of the document. You can ask him, Do you know

who Mr. Dominic Shultens is? Yes. Who was he? He can say

who he was, and then he can testify about his relationship

with Mr. Shultens. The question is a document that was not

authored by Mr. Pearse, but was sent to him and to Ms. Lina.

Are you going to have Mr. Shultens here as a

witness?

MR. BINI: We are not going to call Mr. Shultens.

THE COURT: Okay, well, I'm going to keep this one

out. Next.

MR. BINI: Okay. Government's Exhibit 2851.

THE COURT: Okay. Let's see it.

asking me to admit it. But go ahead.

MR. BINI: Okay, I am asking you to admit this one,

Your Honor, because below that is an e-mail from Najib Allam,

to Andrew Pearse, copying David Langford and Jean Boustani,

where there is a letter from Privinvest that --

THE COURT: Well, let's back up. Let's go to the

top one. You are not calling Mr. Shultens and you are

offering it for the truth of the matter asserted; correct?

MR. BINI: Well, in this one, Mr. Shultens is not

speaking.

THE COURT: So it is from Mr. Pearse, right? It

says from Pearse to Shultens, it's the top item.

MR. BINI: Oh, you are right. I'm sorry.

THE COURT: You guys are living it, but I'm looking

at it, so I don't have a problem with the statement -- the

document from Pearse to Shultens, because you've got Pearse on

the stand. So the top one, I don't see as a problem.

The second one was sent to Pearse from Allam, is

there an objection to that coming in?

MR. JACKSON: Yes, Your Honor. It's a 403 issue and

a 404(b) notice issue. This relates to interactions with

EMATUM's auditor, as I understand it. This is not part of the

indictment. There was no 404(b) notice provided of any

allegations of some kind of separate misstatements to an

auditor, which I believe is what Mr. Bini is getting at.

THE COURT: Well, let's ask Mr. Bini.

Mr. Bini, what are you getting at with this

document -- or this part of the e-mail chain?

MR. BINI: This goes to the value of the goods

provided by the defendant and his company. There is, in this

e-mail chain --

THE COURT: Why don't you scroll further down

because this is just, "hi, attached." It doesn't tell me very

much. What is the gravamen, if you will, of the document?

MR. BINI: At the bottom, where Andrew Pearse writes

to David Langford and Najib Allam --

THE COURT: I don't have a problem with Pearse's

letters to his alleged co-conspirators and to the defendant,

as well, so that part of it I don't have a problem with. But

if you are offering documents authored by people who are not

in the courtroom and who are not going to be called as

witnesses for the truth of the matter asserted, that's the

problem. So if you need to present this in a redacted fashion

to address my concerns with respect to the documents, the

objections are still on the record and it preserves the

record, but you have the benefit of my ruling. So that's how

we can handle that. You may need to get some scissors and

paste or take some other old school remedies to offer portions

Okay, this is from Pearse.

Boustani. That's an admission. The next one?

MR. SCHACHTER: I just want to raise the effect of

the subject matter, it relates to JAFZA Offshore Company,

something related to Angola. It's completely unrelated to any

issue in this case. There has been no 404(b) notice.

document to the other side.

appears to understand complex financial transactions, and --

MR. BINI: Yes, Your Honor.

Go ahead.

MR. BINI: 3103.

THE COURT: That's from Pearse? Any objection to

that, to Boustani?

MR. SCHACHTER: Yes, Your Honor. It is just a

matter unrelated to anything alleged in the indictment.

THE COURT: What's the purpose of offering this one?

MR. BINI: Because it shows the control of Palomar

between Pearse and Boustani.

THE COURT: Okay, I will overrule the objection.

It's allowed. Next.

MR. SCHACHTER: Your Honor, may we ask to just

redact the language about paying taxes and Mr. Boustani's

desire not to pay taxes. It's prejudicial.

THE COURT: He writes: It pisses me off to pay

taxes. Spoiler alert; it probably pisses everybody off to pay

taxes. People don't like paying taxes. I believe there was

something along the lines of when Oliver Weldon Holmes

aggrandized, or one of the old guard, who said: Taxes are

what is extracted by the Government. Nobody likes to pay

taxes. Now, whether you are willing to comply with the law or

not, that's a different question, but nobody likes to pay

taxes.

No, I am going to overrule that objection.

MR. SCHACHTER: Yes, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Go ahead.

MR. BINI: 3106.

THE COURT: From the defendant to Pearse. What's

the objection to an admission by the defendant, Government?

MR. SCHACHTER: Your Honor, this is now at a point

where we are after all of the relevant events in the

indictment. This has to do with compensating employees of

Palomar and is unrelated to any issue in the case.

THE COURT: Really? I don't think that's a very

strong argument. If that's your argument, I am going to

overrule it. Boustani to Pearse about payments, no.

MR. SCHACHTER: Yes, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Overruled. What else?

MR. BINI: 3111.

THE COURT: From Pearse to Lina Subeva, one

defendant was convicted to another. What's the objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: It's a subject matter issue, Your

Honor. I mean, this relates to responding to some Wall Street

Journal article which is going to potentially inject some

issue about a hearsay issue --

THE COURT: Am I misreading this? Doesn't this

refer to Proindicus and to MAM?

MR. SCHACHTER: It does, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Well, if that's the basis for keeping it

out, I think that's a pretty week basis, as a non-existent.

Overruled. What else?

MR. BINI: That's it, Your Honor. I think.

MR. SCHACHTER: That's it. Thank you, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Okay. Anything else we need to address?

MR. BINI: No, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Anything else?

MR. SCHACHTER: No, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Okay. Why don't we have the witness

come back and I will have the jury brought out.

(Witness resumes stand.)

THE COURT: Please have a seat, Mr. Pearse.

THE WITNESS: Thank you, Your Honor.

THE COURT: We are getting the jury back.

(Jury enters the courtroom.)

THE COURT: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen of

the jury. Again, thank you very much, I appreciate your

promptness. Once again, please be seated, with the thanks of

the Court.

Ladies and gentlemen of the public, you may be

seated as well. Mr. Pearse, you may be seated.

We will continue with the examination. And I assure

you, even though it's Friday afternoon, we are going to have

our hard stop at five o'clock. That clock is there and I

don't play any tricks with slowing it down and making it

break. So, five o'clock, even though it's Friday, we are done

for the day.

So, with that, continue.

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

MR. BINI:

Q Mr. Pearse, I want to ask you a couple of questions to go

back on something on the Proindicus loan agreement I didn't

ask you before.

MR. BINI: If we can show GX-4, in evidence, to Mr.

Pearse and the jury.

Q Is this the Proindicus loan agreement, Mr. Pearse?

A Yes, it is.

MR. BINI: If you can go to the second page, the

table of contents, Ms. DiNardo.

Q We looked at some of the other clauses, but I want to ask

you about clause 11, Fees, on page 24.

Do you see that, Mr. Pearse?

A Yes, I do.

Q Is that standard in loan agreements like this one?

A For a close on fees to the loan agreement?

Q Yes.

A It depends on the loan agreement and the bank whose

making the loan.

Q There is one in this loan agreement; is that right?

A Yes, sir, there is.

MR. BINI: If we can go to page 24 and look to Fees.

Q What is clause 11 and clause 11.1?

A This is the clause that refers to fees that will be paid

to the arranger bank.

Q And did the loan agreement that went to investors and

potential investors speak on the issue of fees to the arranger

bank?

A The investors will have received a copy of this loan

agreement with these words relating to the fee arrangements.

Q What does it say?

A The borrower shall pay to the arranger the fees in the

amounts and at the times agreed in the arrangement fee letter.

MR. BINI: Your Honor, at this time the Government

would seek to admit Government's Exhibit 7.

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: Can I have a moment, Your Honor?

THE COURT: Why don't you publish it just to your

adversary so they can see it and tell us if they have an

objection to move things along.

MR. SCHACHTER: No objection.

THE COURT: It's admitted. You may publish to the

jury.

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

(Government Exhibit 7 admitted in evidence.)

(Exhibit published.)

Q Mr. Pearse, what is Government's Exhibit 7?

A This is a copy of the arrangement fee letter between

Credit Suisse and Proindicus from March of 2013.

Q Is this what we saw referred to in the loan agreement?

A Yes. The clause in the loan agreement refers to a fee

letter and this was the fee letter it's referring to.

Q And does this indicate that there is an arrangement fee

for Credit Suisse?

A Yes, it does.

MR. BINI: If we can go to paragraph 4.

Q Does it speak on the arrangement fee for Credit Suisse?

A Yes. It states that the arrangement fee will be $6

million.

Q What was the kickback that you received for Proindicus?

A Five-and-a-half million dollars.

Q Were you working at Credit Suisse at the time that the

Proindicus loan was signed?

A Yes, I was.

Q Does it mention the kickback to you in this section?

A Sorry, in those words that are on the screen?

Q Yes.

A No, it doesn't.

Q Who's the person who ultimately signed the loan agreement

for Proindicus?

A I don't recall, sir.

Q Let's go back to GX-4, and go to the signature page.

A That was Surjan Singh and Tim Malton.

Q Who, if anyone, told Surjan Singh to sign this loan

agreement?

A Technically, it was the credit department of Credit

Suisse but he was under my prior authorization.

Q Thank you.

MR. BINI: You can take that down, Ms. DiNardo.

At this time, the Government would offer

Government's Exhibit 2596.

MR. SCHACHTER: No objection, Your Honor.

THE COURT: All right, that's fine.

(Government's Exhibit 5101 received in evidence.)

(Exhibit published.)

Q What is the date of this e-mail?

A Sixteenth of January, 2014.

Q And I want to go down to the e-mail from the defendant to

you, the bottom e-mail.

What's the time of that e-mail?

A Ten past 9:00 in the morning.

Q What did the defendant write?

A F, all set to get MOF new guarantee for $500 million.

Will do it in Palomar's name. The borrowers will be

Proindicus and EMATUM and to build a maintenance

infrastructure in Moz to maintain their fleets. I think

Proindicus will borrow, as we don't want public noise. Can I

have the MOF guarantee to make him sign it next week before

procurement contract, et cetera.

Q I want to ask you about the part: I think Proindicus

will borrower, as we don't want public noise.

refer to?

A He is referring to the fact that Proindicus is still --

not being disclosed to the public.

Q Why does he want to borrow without public knowledge?

MR. SCHACHTER: Objection.

THE COURT: If you know, in your view.

A In this context, sir, it would require me to speculate to

answer this question.

Q Well, don't do that.

What did you understand the defendant to mean?

A That any new borrowing should be done without being made

public.

Q Thank you.

MR. BINI: At this time, the Government would seek

to admit Government Exhibit 2746.

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: No objection, Your Honor.

THE COURT: You may publish. It's admitted.

(Government Exhibit 2746 admitted into evidence.)

Q Looking to the first e-mail on page 2, what did Najib

Allam write to you.

still need any document from my side, please let me know. FGB

credit cards should be received soon. All has been settled

finally with the bank.

Q I will stop you there, and I'll just ask you, what did

you understand Najib Allam to be referring to?

A He was asking me about a meeting that I had had with my

bank in the United Arab Emirates.

Q If we can go to the first page of the e-mail, your

response.

How did you respond, Mr. Pearse?

A Would you like me to read it, sir?

Q If you could?

A Hi, Najib. The bank was a little painful. The biggest

issue is that they want the residency job description changed

to something more consistent with earnings. Can we do this?

Also they want --

Q I will stop you there.

Can you explain to the jury what was the bank

concerned with regarding your residency job description?

A The bank was concerned with the fact that my application

form for a bank account had described my job title as a tube

welder with an expected annual salary of approximately

$250,000. By this point in time, I had received approximately

$35 million into that bank account.

Q Where were you getting all that money from?

A From Privinvest.

Q And by the way, did you have substantially any other

funds in that UAE bank account other Privinvest funds?

A No. Every penny that was in that account came from my

activities with Privinvest, from proceeds of crime.

THE COURT: I'm sorry, excuse me. This says the

bank wanted the residency job description changed? The bank

suggested to you that you change the job description?

THE WITNESS: Yes, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Okay. Go ahead.

Q And what did Mr. Allam attach to the mail, if anything?

A He attached the constitutional docs for Palomar

consulting, the articles for Palomar holding and a letter, I

believe.

Q Why did he attach those documents?

A Those were documents that had been requested -- well,

some of the documents had been requested by my bank, Abu Dhabi

Commercial Bank.

MR. BINI: Your Honor, at this time the Government

would seek to admit 2746A, 2746B and 2746C.

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: No, Your Honor.

A Yes, he did.

Q What did he write?

A Hi, Andrew. I'm not copying anyone here. I had a draft

of after agreement between PISB and you which I updated. Have

a look and sign it; and we can use at the bank, if needed.

Q What did you do with this agreement?

A I'm sorry. Which agreement?

Q Oh, I'm sorry. What did you do with this email in the

to Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank.

Q Okay. Did you forward it to yourself?

A I'm looking at the top email.

My apologies. Yes, I forwarded it to myself and my

Hotmail account.

Q And if we can now look at 2747A, what is this agreement

Mr. Pearse?

A This is the agreement that was referred to in the email

from Najib Allam, and this is the consulting agreement between

Privinvest Shipbuilding, SAO and myself, relating to

consultancy services that I provided to Privinvest

Shipbuilding in Russia and Azerbaijan.

Q What's the date of this agreement?

A 23rd of March, 2013.

Q Is this a real agreement?

A No, it's not a real agreement.

Q How it not a real agreement?

A It is untrue in that I did not provide consultancy

services to Privinvest Shipbuilding in relation to WP18 and

BR71 products in Russia and Azerbaijan.

MR. BINI: If we can go to the terms and conditions,

Ms. DiNardo, if you can blow up "Terms and Conditions,"

paragraph one.

BY MR. BINI:

Q Is that what you were referring to, Mr. Pearse, as being

untrue?

A Yes.

Q What is set out in paragraph two of the terms and

conditions?

Before do I that, let me ask you this or ask you

that. What is a WP18, if you know?

A That is one of the vessel types that is produced by

Privinvest was sold to Proindicus.

Q What is the BR71, if you know?

A I don't know.

Q Did you do any consulting in Russia for Privinvest.

A No, I did not.

A Not there either.

Q Okay. Now if we can look at two, do you recognize those

payments?

A Yes, I do.

Q What are they?

A These are the payments I received from Privinvest in

respect of the kickbacks and unlawful payments for the

Proindicus loans.

Q Did you have discussions with the defendant, Najib Allam,

or anyone else about why you have this fake contract, setting

out all your Proindicus payments?

A Yes, I did.

Q Who did you discuss it with?

A I discussed it with the defendant and Iskandar Safa the

year preceding the date of that email that sent me this --

this contract. I described the events yesterday, sir.

Q Can you please describe what to the jury what you're

referring to?

A In March of 2013, after the first Proindicus loan was

closed, I met with Iskandar Safa and Jean Boustani the estate

of Iskandar Safa in the South of France and discussed how,

among other things, how to characterize the kickback that I

wad receiving in relation to the first Proindicus loan in the

event that I was ever asked by a third party where the money

came from.

Q Is this consistent with the conversation that you had

with Iskandar Safa and the defendant in March of 2013?

A Yes, during that conversation, Iskandar Safa told me

that, if I was ever asked, I should describe the payments as

being paid to me under the terms of a consultancy agreement

with Privinvest where I was consulting on the sale of two

vessel types, the WP18 and a DV15.

Q Are those the two boats that are set out here, if we go

back to "1"?

A The WP18 is one of those boats described by Mr. Safa.

The BR71 was not. The product he told me about in March of

2013 was a DV15 which had been the other vessel type that we

provided to Proindicus at that stage contracted to be

provided. Excuse me.

Q Is this the first time you'd ever seen this fake

contract?

A The date I received it from Najib Allam was the first

time I'd seen it.

Q If we could go back to 2747, what's the date, if we go to

the top?

A 21st of March, 2014.

Q Did the contract appear to be backdated?

A It is backdated, sir. It's from a year earlier.

Q By the way, if we look to the top, if we go back to

2747A, do you see how it said it's entered into March 23rd,

payments --

A They're all subsequent to that date.

Q Does that make sense?

foresee the payments on the 23rd of March, 2013.

I'll ask to offer it now.

A The VTB Bank.

syndicated loan. It was capable of being syndicated. I don't

know if it was syndicated because I did not work at VTB.

BY MR. BINI:

Q Okay. What was the MAM project supposed to be?

A It had two primary purposes. One was to build shipyards

to be able to allow the Mozambicans to build vessels of the

types that had been supplied under the Proindicus and EMATUM

loans, and the second element was to provide maintenance

facilities for the boats that had already been spotted or were

being in the process of being delivered for Proindicus and

EMATUM and third parties.

Q Did you think that business plan could work?

A I did not, no.

Q Why not?

A Because it relied on Proindicus and EMATUM being able to

petty MAM for the maintenance of their vessels. At this stage

it wasn't clear that either of those entities were -- had not

generated any revenue. It wasn't clear that they would

generate sufficient revenue to support the business plan.

Secondly, the shipyard's shipbuilding proposal was

for the Mozambique to build vessels of the type that had being

supplied by Privinvest, which I knew to be highly technical;

and without any expertise in the matter, it seemed unlikely

that nations would want to buy vessels built in Mozambique

when they could buy them built in Germany or France.

Q What was the loan size for the MAM loan?

A $535 million.

Q Did you think that was an appropriate loan size for the

project?

A No, because I thought the business plan was unlikely to

succeed.

Q Were you paid in relation to that loan?

A Yes, I was.

Q How much did you receive?

A Just over $10 million.

Q How did you receive that $10 million?

A I received it as a dividend from Palomar Holdings after

Palomar Holdings received a fee from Privinvest.

Q What happened to the MAM project?

A I do not know sir.

Q Was it successful?

A Not that I'm aware of.

Q Are you aware of if it made any revenues?

A I'm not, no.

Q Now looking to 5111, is this an email regarding the MAM

project?

A Yes.

Q And looking to the email, the top email from Ms. Subeva

to you, and another email and address for Ms. Subeva, what was

Ms. Subeva setting out in her email?

A She at the time was trying to build a financial model

which was to be provided for MAM to the bank. In that model

she had assumed that MAM would make revenue from selling

certain boats it built as part of the project.

The sale prices that the defendant had provided to

her for the vessels were that were being built in Mozambique

were inconsistent with the values that were being paid for the

paid for by EMATUM and Proindicus under the terms of their

contracts. Her, without reading the email --

Q Let me direct you to the second paragraph, if you could

just read that paragraph, the second practice of Ms. Subeva's

email, starting for EMATUM or EMATUM.

A "For EMATUM, we have three trimarans and 24 long liners

straight trawlers. If we now say that we sell the trimarans

for $20 million and the trawlers for $10 million, if someone

does the math, they get to cost of amount of vessels of just

$300 million. Of course, that are other equipment, center

components, and TOT fees. So no one expects to get to

$850 million, but I want to be higher than $300 million to

avoid issue."

Q I'm going to stop you there.

Did you understand Ms. Subeva to be saying the

prices for MAM made EMATUM look like way too much of a loan?

A No. I understood her to be saying that if she used the

prices that would be provided to her in MAM, it would appear

that the prices paid under the procurement contract were

higher than they were here.

Q Okay. Was the discomfort that Ms. Subeva expressed

something that you discussed with the defendant?

A Yes. The need for consistency between the transactions

was very important.

Q Why was it important?

A Because VTB had been a -- was a lender at this stage to

Proindicus and had been one of the arrangers of the EMATUM

bonds. So they were in possession of the business plans for

both of those projects and were able to cross-reference.

MR. BINI: If we can, Your Honor, at this time the

Government seeks to admit Government Exhibit 2761.

Q Did the defendant disagree with Ms. Subeva?

A Yes.

Q Was he pretty vehement about his disagreement?

MR. SCHACHTER: Objection.

THE COURT: Yeah, I'll sustain it. The jury has got

the document. Why don't you just call attention to what was

said by Mr. Boustani in the document --

MR. BINI: Sure.

THE COURT: -- other than characterizes it?

BY MR. BINI:

Q What was the first sentence the defendant wrote?

A "You got it wrong."

Q And if you would, does he -- if you could, read the rest

of it.

A Out loud.

Q Yes.

A Privinvest, being the manager for MAM, will insure that

MAM's parts of the jobs are estimated at these values,

trimaran trawler, et cetera. So it is not the sales price.

All components, engines, et cetera, will be paid by Privinvest

because it has a mega-discount package with all suppliers.

That is why MAM will work as part of the Privinvest network.

So the parts of the trimaran will be valued at $20 million and

will generate an NOP of $4 1/2 million. This does not

included major parts. Is it clear?

Q What did the defendant write?

A Morning, Love. Please increase MAM to $600 million.

Q What did you understand him to mean?

A The defendant wanted the financing size for MAM to be

increased to $600 million.

Q And how did you respond?

A EMATUM may need the economist again.

Q Did you respond on April 10th of 2014?

A Yes, sir.

Q How did the defendant respond?

A "Negative or positive article? Lena, my love, now we're

at $750 million. That will be at 36 DB 15 stock built in MAM

to start with. Happy with me?"

Q What did you understand her to mean there with the

750 million?

A I understood that the transaction size for MAM was being

increased to $750 million by the defendant.

Q Was it just 600 million in the email the day before?

A If I could look at that previous email, the dates,

please. Yes, it was the day before.

Q Okay. Now, if we can go to your response, how did you

respond to the defendant increasing the loan to 750 million?

A So as not freak out the banks, my suggestion will be to

start with 500 and look to upsize after three months based on

the 36 DB 15s. Docks for up to 750 but an initial business

plan would be 500 this current procurement contract. Okay

with everyone?

Q Why do you write "so as not to freak out the banks"?

A Seven hundred fifty million was just too big and

impossible to place in my view at that time.

Q How did the defendant respond?

A Okay, Bro. Go ahead.

A Attached, Lena's work with a little massaging from me.

Nothing too dramatic. The following are worth highlighting.

Q I'm going to stop you there. What were you sending?

A Comments on the procurement contract for MAM.

Q Okay. Did the defendant respond?

A Yes, he did.

Q Who does "David" refer to?

A David Langford.

Q Who typically wrote the procurement contracts for

Privinvest and subsidiaries?

A In relation to transactions I was involved in? David

Langford.

Q What did you understand the defendant to mean when he

said, "let's move remove all precise things like number of

employees dock size, et cetera"?

A He was frustrated at the time by the questions from Ms.

Subeva that showed the inconsistencies between what was being

provided and what was required for the project and for the

business plan. So his solution was to remove all references

to anything that was precise in order to avoid any potential

servant or any other person holding a governmental position or

who is otherwise prohibited from receiving any such money or

thing of value.

"For the execution of the project, the contractor

obtaining such permissions, it may be necessary to receive an

adequate end-user certificate or other legal authority or

Q I'll stop you there.

What did you understand this provision to require?

A The first paragraph refers to the contractor and the

customer, being MAM, stating that they won't pay bribes or

kickbacks.

Q Okay.

MR. BINI: Now, if we can take that down and go to

Government's Exhibit 301.

entered into with VTB?

A Yes, but the clause is contained in this "Contents," sir.

Largely the same as the ones contained in the other documents,

the other agreements we looked at.

THE COURT: Try to keep your voice up. Again, move

the microphone closer to you. Speak directly into it like

this, and then you will be heard. Maybe not like this, but go

ahead.

BY MR. BINI:

Q And is there a Clause 19 with "Representations" that has

similar language on compliance with laws?

A Yes, there is.

Q And is there a Clause 28 on "Payment Mechanics"?

A Yes.

Q And does that require payment to a New York City

United States of America.

Q You had discussed syndication being different on this

loan than on other loans.

Can you describe that to the jury?

A No, sir, I didn't say that. I corrected whether the loan

was drafted to enable it to be syndicated.

Q Did it have a provision, a clause that enabled

syndication at some later point?

agreements we've looked at?

A It is different from the loans for Proindicus and EMATUM

in one key respect, there's a restriction on syndication or

transfer of the loan from the original lender for one year.

Q Okay.

And if we look to the back, to the signatures, to

Who signed on behalf of MAM?

I received in relation to the MAM transaction. The fee or

the -- my share of the dividend that was paid by Palomar as a

result of receiving fees from Privinvest.

witness resume the witness stand and then we will finish up

the day with a hard stop at 5:00.

Thank you, Mr. Pearse.

THE WITNESS: Thank you, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Did you speak with anyone about your

testimony while you were out?

THE WITNESS: No, we were too busy discussing the

Yankees, Your Honor.

THE COURT: There you go. I know, very painful.

You can get the jury in now.

I promise not to bring up Brexit or anything like

that.

THE WITNESS: Appreciate that.

THE COURT: Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen of the

jury, as promised, there are cough drops as you come in, if

you want. Not a requirement, but at the end of the day.

Thank you, sir. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you may be

seated. Thank you for your patience. We will have our hard

stop at 5:00.

Sir, I take it you did not discuss your testimony

with anyone during the break.

THE WITNESS: I did not.

THE COURT: Thank you. Please be seated. We will

now continue with the direct examination of the witness.

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

BY MR. BINI:

Q Mr. Pearse, did you take any of the money that you made

from the MAM transaction and move it somewhere else?

A Yes, I did.

Q What did you do with the funds that you earned from the

MAM transaction, Mr. Pearse?

A In part, I invested them into a company called Palomar

Natural Resources.

Q What is Palomar Natural Resources?

A It is a company that I acquired together with the

defendant and Iskandar Safa, which is an oil and gas

exploration company, originally with assets in New Mexico, the

USA, and then literally in Poland in Eastern Europe.

Q Did you invest assets before and after the MAM

transaction into those concessions?

A Yes. I invested a large part, almost $30 million of the

monies I received for these transactions in that company.

Q When you say these transactions, are you referring to the

criminal scheme that we have been discussing?

A I'm referring to -- yes, I am -- to Proindicus, and

ultimately MAM, monies I received from those projects.

Q During the course of your criminal conduct with the

defendant, did you observe or see anything -- before I ask you

that, let me ask you, I asked you about a concession, what's a

concession?

A That is a right that is given by a Government to explore

for hydrocarbons in a certain area, a geographical area, so a

concession provides the holder of the concession with the

right to explore and drill for oil and gas in this context.

Q During your time in this criminal scheme, did you observe

anything that led you to believe the defendant had become

wealthier?

A Yes, I did.

Q What did you observe?

A I observed him buying property in London and South of

France.

Q Do you have an idea of the approximate amounts of the

properties based upon your conversations with the defendant?

A Yes. He told me that he had acquired two properties in

central London for approximately 10 to 11 million pounds,

which at that time was approximately $15 million, and a

property South of France, which is next to the golf course

which is owned by Iskandar Safa. He told me that was

approximately 2 million Euros.

Q What was the timeframe of these purchases?

A The timeframe was in the period after the MAM transaction

closed, so approximately 2015.

Q Did you have reason to believe that the additional wealth

was from the transactions you had engaged in with him?

MR. SCHACHTER: Objection.

THE COURT: If you have a belief.

A I had that belief.

Q Why?

A Because I knew that I had made approximately $35 million

from EMATUM and MAM from Palomar Holdings, for monies I had

received from Palomar Holdings, and I was aware that the

defendant was a one-third partner in Palomar, same as myself

and would receive the same amount of money.

Q Was he an official partner of Palomar?

A No. The legal ownership structure involved another

company, another Privinvest company as being the two-thirds

owner of Palomar. I owned my one-third share in EMATUM and

the two-thirds were held by another company.

Q What, if anything, did the defendant say that led you to

believe that he was an owner of Palomar?

A Many things. When Palomar was established way back in

2013, it was established as a partnership. All discussions I

had with the defendant in relation to the payment of monies

made by Palomar were with the defendant. To the extent there

were arguments about money in relation to expenditure or

investments, they were with the defendant, we co-invested, as

I said, into Palomar Natural Resources in which we all put a

lot of money. I put $20 million. The defendant put $20

million. When we were unable to sell that company, he was

very unhappy about not having his money repaid to him. There

were many instances I could recite.

Q What, if anything, did he say to you about that dispute

regarding money you just referred to?

A So, the largest investment we made collectively was --

we, being the defendant, myself, and Iskandar Safa, was into

Palomar Natural Resources, the oil and gas company. We

collectively put $70 million into that company.

THE COURT: How much?

THE WITNESS: 70.

THE COURT: Seven zero?

THE WITNESS: Seven zero.

THE COURT: Go ahead.

A We -- I had been trying -- I tried to sell that company

in 2016 and subsequently, unfortunately, due to adverse

publicity, because of the Mozambican loans and my association,

Mr. Safa's association with those loans, it became

increasingly difficult to sell the company and ultimately we

needed to invest more money into the company. And in 2018,

end of 2018 I did not have the money to invest it, and the

conditions to which Iskandar Safa was prepared to put more

money into it involved me losing considerable amounts of my

share in the company. And I had a discussion with the

defendant at length about this in Abu Dhabi and he said to me

unless you agree with Safa, he's going to burn the company

down, which neither of us can afford to do. He got lots of

money, but we can't afford to lose 20 million each. That was

the conversation I had with him at the end of 2018.

MR. BINI: I'd like to at this point, Your Honor, if

I could admit Government Exhibit 3127.

THE COURT: Any objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: Can I have just a moment, Your

Honor.

THE COURT: Show it to him electronically, if you

can.

MR. SCHACHTER: No further objection.

THE COURT: All right. It's admitted.

(Government's Exhibit 3127 received in evidence.)

THE COURT: You may publish.

MR. BINI: Thank you, Your Honor.

(Exhibit published.)

Q If we can go to the e-mail from November 12, 2014 at

15:29. What did the defendant Jean Boustani write to you

regarding this e-mail subject loan?

A He writes Palomar Capital Advisors, please.

Q What was Palomar Capital Advisors, Mr. Pearse?

A Palomar Capital Advisors was the financial advisor based

in Zurich, Switzerland we originally acquired in 2013 together

from Markus Kroll.

Q Was the defendant officially in charge of Palomar Capital

Advisors?

A No, he wasn't.

Q What was he requesting in this e-mail?

A I'm sorry, would it be possible to see the preceding

e-mail?

MR. BINI: If we can go to the bottom e-mail, Ms.

DiNardo, so Mr. Pearse can see that.

Q I am going to ask you to take a look at it. Does that

relate to a different transaction?

A Yes, it does.

Q And are you talking about a loan?

A Yes. This was a loan that was being proposed that

Palomar made to -- Palomar made to a company called San Leon

Energy.

Q What's San Leon Energy?

A It's an oil and gas company based in London.

Q Is it related to Palomar Natural Resources?

A It is because Palomar Natural Resources bought the Polish

gas concessions from San Leon Energy and the chief -- the CEO

of Palomar Natural Resources, a gentleman called John

Buggenhagen, who had previously been an employee of San Leon

Energy.

THE COURT: What was his name?

THE WITNESS: John Buggenhagen.

THE WITNESS: John, J-O-H-N. Buggenhagen,

B-U-G-G-E-N-H-A-G-E-N.

THE COURT: Thank you, sir.

Continue.

Q And if we look to your e-mail on the bottom of the first

page into the top of the second page on November 12, 2014 at

1:55 p.m., I want to ask you about the part where you said,

"Does Sandy want to be involved and we lend out of PH or we do

this you and me?" What were you asking the defendant?

A I was asking the defendant whether Iskandar Safa wanted

to be involved in this loan. It was a profitable venture in

my opinion and asking whether the loan that we were to make to

Sandy would be from Palomar Holdings or separately, just

involving a vehicle involving the defendant and myself.

Q And if we go to the next e-mail from the defendant at

15:29. What did the defendant indicate?

A He suggests that Palomar Capital Advisors be the lender

for the transaction.

Q Okay. And if we go up to your e-mail at 6:44 p.m., what

did you set out to the defendant?

A I asked are we doing two-thirds, one-third or 50/50?

Better out of PH as it's in BV and technically PCAAD is 50

percent owned by the lawyers.

Q What did you mean by PCAAD is 50 percent owned by the

lawyers?

A I was referring to Palomar Consulting -- I used the wrong

acronym in this e-mail -- which was a company which was

incorporated in Abu Dhabi, which was part of the Palomar

group.

Q Why did you indicate it's 50 percent owned by the

lawyers?

A Because foreigners are not allowed to own 100 percent of

a company based in Abu Dhabi. They could only own 49 percent.

So the way to get around that is for law firms to own 51

percent and hold those shares on behalf of the foreign entity.

Q If you go up to the e-mail in response from the

defendant, at 15:46, what did the defendant write to you about

that structure?

A "Bro, I don't understand. I don't do anything without

Iskandar. Palomar Abu Dhabi is controlled by us. Lawyers are

nominees, no worries. "

Q What did you understand the defendant to mean lawyers are

nominees, no worries?

A He means that the lawyers are just holding the shares;

they don't make the decisions in relation to the company.

Q Who made the decisions with respect to Palomar Holdings?

A The partners: Myself, the defendant, and Iskandar Safa.

Q You spoke about the defendant appearing to become

wealthier during the criminal scheme. What about Iskandar

Safa, did he appear to become wealthier?

A When I first met him, he appeared to be a wealthy man

already. He did appear to become wealthier as time -- during

the period that I knew him from 2013 onwards.

Q What did you see, hear, or observe that led you to

believe that he had become wealthy?

A I saw his estate in the South of France being

significantly renovated. I saw him acquire a private jet and

I was told by a member of his staff that he had acquired a

large yacht.

Q Did you have any understanding as to what the source of

his additional wealth had been?

A I did not.

Q During the course of your involvement in this scheme, did

you travel to the United States on several occasions?

A Yes. There was a period of time that I was in the U.S.

on a number of occasions.

MR. BINI: At this time the Government would seek to

admit Government Exhibit 3145 and 3145A.

MR. SCHACHTER: No objection.

THE COURT: No objection? Did you say no objection?

MR. SCHACHTER: No objection.

Q What did you write?

A "Spoke to uncle.

"They have not been discussing anything. They have

not discussed upsize with anyone. The only thing they did was

speak to Moza and BCP about potential extension. So, in

short, no idea where this came from."

Q What upsize were you discussing?

Let me stop there. Whose uncle?

A Uncle is Surjan Singh.

Q If we can go to the earliest e-mail. On September 17,

2014 at 21:42, what did the defendant write to you?

A He writes "Isaltina just called employee freaking out.

She got a call from Rand Bank saying that JP Morgan is

arranging $540 million dollars for Moz with MoF guarantee.

She is worried that this is VTB flipping the MAM deal. And

she is really panicking. I told her I very much doubt there

is strict confidentiality and non-trading restriction for one

year."

Q Let me stop you there. What did you understand the

defendant to mean when he said that Isaltina was freaking out?

A That Isaltina was very worried.

Q About what?

A About the possibility that the MAM loan would become

public.

Q Why was that a source of concern, if you are aware?

A Because the Ministry of Finance and, indeed, the other

participants in the scheme did not want the MAM loan to become

public.

Q Do you see where the defendant wrote there is strict

confidentiality and non-trading restriction for one year?

What did you understand the defendant to mean?

A He's referring to two of the clauses in the MAM loan

agreement.

Q Is that that complicated clause you explained to us on

changing lenders?

A He's referring to what was -- yes. In the MAM loan there

was a very unusual provision restricting VTB from transferring

the loan for one year and there are other provisions related

to confidentiality that are in the back end of that loan.

MR. BINI: And if you go up to the next page.

Q Is there an e-mail from Dominic Shultens?

A Yes, there is.

Q If you go to the e-mail after that, did the defendant

e-mail again?

A Yes, he did.

Q What did he indicate?

A "Please, I promised Isaltina an answer tomorrow."

Q What did you understand the defendant to be asking for an

answer about?

A An answer as to who was marketing another Mozambican loan

and -- we were trying to establish what Isaltina was referring

to when she was freaking out to Mr. Boustani at the beginning

of the e-mail chain.

Q Okay. And is that what you were responding to when you

said "spoke to uncle"?

A Yes. One of the potential parties who may have been

marketing Mozambican loans, trying to sell Mozambican loans

was Credit Suisse.

Q Was this -- all these e-mails that we've gone through,

were you in New York City when you sent and received these,

the New York City area?

Q We can go to 3160. Look at this top e-mail. What's the

date of this e-mail?

A October 14, 2014.

A It's from myself Dominic Shultens.

Q What's the subject of the e-mail?

A Proindicus update.

Q What was going on in October of 2014 with respect to the

Proindicus loan, Mr. Pearse?

A At this point in time, myself and other members of

Palomar were working with Credit Suisse and VTB to extend the

terms of the Proindicus loan.

Q What do you mean by extend the terms of the Proindicus

loan?

A If I may explain. Proindicus, the original Proindicus

loan was now $622 million in size and there was an obligation

in March of 2015 to repay part of the loan, as well as the

interest that was due on that date. It was clear that

Proindicus did not have the money to make those payments, so,

Palomar, the Palomar team, myself, Mr. Laverne, Mr. Shultens

were working with Credit Suisse and VTB to change the original

terms of the Proindicus loan to make it longer to reduce the

A Yes, I did, on that occasion.

Q And what did you and Surjan Singh discuss while you were

MR. BINI: Your Honor, I see I'm hard on five

THE COURT: It is the absolute best time to stop as

promised to my jury. We are stopping at five o'clock.

Ladies and gentlemen, do not talk about the case

with anyone. Go home. And if you are a Yankees fan, you know

what to do. If you are a Mets fan, I'm sure you know to do

the opposite. Thank you. We will see you Monday, 9:30 a.m.

when we resume the trial. Have a good weekend everyone.

Thank you.

(Jury exits the courtroom.)

THE COURT: You may step down, Mr. Pearse. Thank

you.
