John Webster Warwick, 64, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, was sentenced to 37 months in prison for his part in a conspiracy to bribe former Panamanian government officials to secure maritime contracts. Warwick was also forced to forfeit $331,000 in proceeds from the crime. Warwick, who was an employee of Ports Engineering Consultants Corporation (PECC), pleaded guilty to a one-count indictment charging him with conspiring to make corrupt payments to foreign government officials. A co-conspirator, Charles Jumet, 53, pleaded guilty to a two-count criminal information charging him with conspiring to make corrupt payments to foreign government officials and making a false statement and was sentenced to 87 months in prison last April.
