conspirators to take actions necessary to accomplish the overall aims of<br />

the criminal enterprise-namely, manufacturing evidence of Chevron's<br />

liability, procuring sham criminal charges against Chevron's attorneys,<br />

conducting a massive public pressure campaign designed to spread false<br />

and misleading information about Chevron and the Lago Agrio Litigation,<br />

and obstructing Chevron's efforts at uncovering the truth in various U.S.<br />

court proceedings.<br />

b. Defendant Fajardo has been primarily responsible for prosecuting the<br />

sham litigation in the Ecuadorian courts, has served as one of the heads of<br />

the criminal enterprise in the U.S. and Ecuadorian media, and has planned<br />

and coordinated the ghostwriting of the Cabrera Report.<br />

c. Defendants Yanza and the Front have been primarily responsible for<br />

managing the RICO Defendants' "private army," exerting influence over<br />

and colluding with Ecuadorian government and court officials, and serving<br />

as media representatives for the criminal enterprise in which they have<br />

made false statements to Chevron stockholders, financial analysts,<br />

investors, and/or state and federal agencies. Yanza arranged for funding<br />

from Kohn and/or Kohn Swift for the RICO Defendants' activities in<br />

Ecuador, and frequently caused money to be transferred out of the United<br />

States for this purpose.<br />

d. Defendant Selva Viva has served as a conduit for funding and otherwise<br />

furthering the RICO Defendants' criminal enterprise.<br />

e. Defendants Stratus, Beltman, and Maest have been responsible for<br />

coordinating the drafting of and actually ghostwriting the Cabrera Report<br />
