Rolando Suarez, president of South Florida-based Avcom Avionics & Instruments (Avcom), was ordered last week to pay more than $700,000 in restitution, along with several other co-conspirators, stemming from charges that he conspired to bribe an FAA aviation safety inspector. He was charged in August and pleaded guilty before the U.S. District Court in Miami a month later.

The investigation conducted by the FBI and the DOT revealed that from approximately 2010 to 2013, Suarez employed an active FAA inspector, who provided Avcom with unauthorized technical publications and notices and warnings about inspections and investigations, as well as competitors’ confidential information. In exchange, Suarez provided money and gifts, all with the intent to encourage acts in violation of the inspector’s official duty, according to the DOT.

Last month, Suarez was sentenced to 24 months’ incarceration, followed by a three-year term of supervised release, and a $20,100 fine.
