周一，一名前香港政府官员被联邦政府指控试图贿赂乍得总统和乌干达外长，以换取一家中国能源公司的采油权。他在纽约法院拒绝认罪。 该官员名叫何志平，他与塞内加尔前任外交国务部长谢赫·加迪奥(Cheikh Gadio)在11月被捕，被起诉洗钱以及违反《海外反腐败法》(Foreign Corrupt Practices Act)。 现年68岁的何志平曾在美国接受眼科医学教育，于2002至2007年间担任香港民政事务局局长。离任后，他成为香港研究机构中华能源基金会(China Energy Fund Committee)的秘书长，这家机构得到了中国华信能源有限公司(CEFC China Energy Company)的资金支持。华信是一家总部位于上海的大型能源企业，背后有中国共产党的支持。 美国检察官表示，何志平参与了两起行贿案件。其中一起涉及向乍得总统伊德里斯·德比(Idriss Déby)行贿200万美元，“以确保得到商业优势”来帮助华信回避国际竞争，获得在该国的采油权。检方称，加迪奥是那场交易的中间人，何志平从纽约电汇了40万美元给他作为酬金。 检方称，第二起案件涉及50万美金的贿赂，同样是从纽约通过电汇将钱转入了乌干达外交部长萨姆·库泰萨(Sam Kutesa)指定的一个银行账户。库泰萨还得到了礼物以及一份承诺，即华信可能会与他的家族控制的公司成立合资企业并分享利润。 加迪奥以及乌干达和乍得政府均否认了这些指控。NYTimes/
