Found guilty: "David Rivera (60) and Esther Nuhfer (51) obtained a $50 million contract with a subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned and state-controlled oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), to advance the interests of the Venezuelan regime in the US. Without registering as foreign agents as required by law, Rivera and Nuhfer lobbied US officials -- including then-US Senator Marco Rubio and US Representative Pete Sessions -- and arranged meetings between US policymakers and high-ranking Venezuelan officials, including then-President Nicolas Maduro and then-Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez. In text message exchanges, Rivera and Nuhfer used coded language to describe their activities."
