A former Ecuadorean judge who testified he and a colleague received bribes from plaintiffs who won a $19 billion pollution judgment against Chevron Corp. told a U.S. court he initially exaggerated those claims.
The former judge, Alberto Guerra, testified in a trial in Manhattan federal court yesterday that he wasn’t truthful about some details when he first discussed the bribery allegations with Chevron representatives in 2012.
