Ecuador Ministry of Justice Engineer Hugo Rekalde issued a statement today, Tuesday, that the video taken of an Ecuadorian Judge named Juan Evangelista Nunez involved in a conversation over an alleged bribe that the Judge would get part of if he were to rule against Chevron in their case against Ecuador (and note, not the indigenous people, because Ecuador's a party to the lawsuit).
This video interview conducted last year (August 2009) and with Chevron Spokesperson Sean Comey explains how the video came to Chevron's attention.
Anti-American Oil (Or is it just Chevron or are they just being paid by lawyers against Chevron?) antagonists have said the video was doctored and altered, and based a lot of their attacks on that idea. Ecuador's own legal arm has said they're wrong. The report reads:
-After the voices in the recordings were identified, studied, and compared and their audible sound frequency ranges were compared in the Audiogram (device used to compare audible frequencies), they were determined to be the actual voices of the following individuals:
Carlos Patricio Garda O. Ruben Darlo Miranda M. Diego Fernando Borja S. Juan Evangelista Nunez S. Aulo Servio Avila C. Pablo Almeida. Wayne Hansen, and Juan Pablo Novoa V.
