Mark Lambert, 56, of Mount Airy, Maryland,
was found guilty of four counts of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, two counts of wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA and commit wire fraud.
His trial in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland lasted three weeks. The jury deliberated for a week.
Lambert

His sentencing
is set for March 9, 2020. He faces up to five years in prison on the FCPA charges and up to 20 years for the wire fraud.
