Many bankers may be worried about whether some fancy product dreamed up might yet lead to a visit from the police. Daniel Dantas, a financier, who has profited by operating at the middle place where business and government meet in Brazil, has been opening the door to find the police outside for much of the past decade. On December 2nd he was convicted of a less sophisticated crime: trying to bribe police officers. Mr. Dantas, who has acquired great notoriety in Brazil, was fined $ 5 million and sentenced to ten years in prison. He has appealed against his conviction.
The charge stems from a police investigation into money-laundering(洗钱)known as Operation Satiagraha. It grew out of a previous investigation into Mr. Dantas’ use of Kroll, a security consultancy, to watch over his business partners. During this investigation the police seized a computer from Opportunity, Mr. Dantas’s investment bank, which contained data from the mid-1990s to 2004 and apparently showed suspicious movements of money.
The judge found that Mr. Dantas tried to pay bribes, via two go-betweens, to keep his name out of the Satiagraha investigation. A man fitted with a bugging device was offered $ 1 million in cash, with another $ 4 million to follow, the police say. They claim that Mr. Dantas’s trick involved money travelling to the Cayman Islands, then via the British Virgin Islands to an account in Ireland, on to Delaware, and then re-entering Brazil as foreign investment.
For Mr. Dantas his crime is a steep fall from grace. A man who sleeps little and socializes less, he is a vegetarian and self-made billionaire, a gifted financier who has serially fallen out with his business partners. He once controlled a large telecoms firm, acting for investors who included Citigroup. He says he is the victim of a conspiracy mounted by the government.
It is Mr. Dantas’ supposed influence in government circles that has added to his notoriety. During the 1990s, when many state-owned businesses were privatized, Mr. Dantas positioned himself as the man with the needed expertise and contacts. He enjoyed easy access to the government of President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, including meetings with the president himself. That influence carried through into the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Mr. Dantas is alleged to have been one of the funders of a cash-for-votes scheme in Brazil’s Congress mounted by leaders of Lula’s Workers’ Party in 2003—2004. Many of those who have had dealings with Mr. Dantas insist that these have been legitimate and conducted in good faith. They include Luiz Eduardo Greenhalgh, a lawyer and PT politician, whom he hired as a consultant.
Mr. Dantas’ relationship with his business partners is that______.
选项
A、he usually gets along well with them
B、he does not have a good relationship with them
C、he totally trusts all of his business partners
D、he believes that they make him a victim
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。由定位句可知,丹塔斯先生曾连续几次和他的商业伙伴闹翻,冈此他与其伙伴的关系并不好,B)符合题意。由以上分析可知A)错误;第二段第二句提到Mr.Dantas’use of Kroll…to watch overhis business partners,可见他并不相信自己的商业伙伴,故排除C);第四段最后一句中提到He says he is thevictim of a conspiracy mounted by the government,可见他认为自己受到的迫害来自政府,并不是来自商业伙伴,故排除D)。
