A federal appeals court has approved a $250,000 restitution order against a Beverly Hills, Calif., film producer and his wife who were the first individuals in Hollywood to be convicted under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Gerald Green, whose film credits include Werner Herzog’s Rescue Dawn, and his wife, Patricia Green, were convicted in 2009 of paying $1.8 million in bribes to a high-ranking government official in Thailand in exchange for more than $13.5 million in contracts associated with the Bangkok International Film Festival.
