A Georgia executive will serve eight years in federal prison for bribing Honduran officials to secure more than $10 million in contracts for his law enforcement supply company.
Carl Alan Zaglin, 70, owner of Marietta-based Atlanco LLC, was sentenced yesterday and ordered to forfeit over $2 million. The sentencing follows his September 2025 conviction in a conspiracy that lasted nearly five years.
Evidence at trial showed that between 2015 and 2019, Zaglin used a Florida intermediary to route hundreds of thousands of dollars to key decision-makers at TASA, the Honduran agency responsible for procuring police equipment. Aldo Nestor Marchena of Boca Raton processed $2.5 million in sham invoices approved by Zaglin to disguise the illicit payments.
In exchange for the kickbacks, TASA officials Francisco Roberto Cosenza Centeno and Juan Ramon Molina steered lucrative uniform and accessory contracts to Zaglin’s company. Marchena received a seven-year prison sentence last month, while the two Honduran officials have pleaded guilty and await sentencing.
The investigation was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Miami, with support from international authorities in Belize, Colombia, and Spain.
