A garment factory general manager lands himself in trouble for offering bribe to a US Department of Labor recently for closing an investigation into wage violations.
The person in question, 42-year-old Howard Quoc Trinh, who is the general manager of Seven-Bros Enterprises in La Puente city of Los Angeles county (California, US), was brought to a federal court last week, where he was convicted on two counts of bribery by the jury, following deliberations of less than an hour. He faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in federal prison. US District Judge Christina A Snyder presided over the trial.
According to a US Department of Justice statement, the evidence presented in court found him guilty of offering $10,000 to a labour official, investigating a case of violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which sets standards for minimum wage and overtime pay, at the factory last year.
