Fat Leonard, a fugitive defense contractor, is facing extradition to the US following a bribery scheme involving the US military. The scheme involved bribing Navy officials with cash and gifts, resulting in numerous convictions. His escape and subsequent arrest in Venezuela have been prominent in the case. The US-Venezuela extradition deal was made in exchange for the release of American prisoners and the potential extradition of another fugitive. However, the case has faced scrutiny, with allegations of prosecutorial misconduct leading to the vacating of felony convictions.
