TRINIDAD & TOBAGO – The government of Trinidad and Tobago has won a multimillion-dollar verdict in a sprawling corruption lawsuit that began nearly 20 years ago and involves former high-ranking officials.

A Miami jury awarded the government more than $100 million in compensatory damages in a verdict late Wednesday.

The civil case began in 2004 when the Trinidadian government sued a former finance minister, various businessmen and several companies in countries including Florida, Panama and Portugal.

Faris al-Rawi – a former Attorney General in Trinidad who represented the government in the case, told the Associated Press “We got everything that we asked for.”
