Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

A U.S. citizen and part-owner of a Honolulu-based engineering and consulting company was sentenced to 30 months in prison on May 13 for his involvement in a bribery conspiracy with a Micronesian government official, the Department of Justice said in a press release. Frank James Lyon had pleaded guilty in January after he was charged with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (see 1904040035). Lyon conspired with Master Halbert, a Micronesian official, to award Lyon’s company contracts from the Micronesian government in exchange for cash bribes, the department said. Lyon also bribed Hawaii state officials as part of the conspiracy, according to the press release. As a result, Lyon obtained contracts worth more than $10 million, the department said. Halbert pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to commit money laundering in April; sentencing is scheduled for July 29.
