The Individual Respondent (“Respondent”), acting as the owner and legal representative of a Sole Proprietorship, participated in three price comparison processes within the framework of the Lake Titicaca Sanitation Program and the Periurban Water and Sewerage Program Phase I and Complementary Financing (“Programs”). The Office of Institutional Integrity (“OII”) submitted a Statement of Charges and Evidence against the Respondent for allegedly engaging in fraudulent practices related to the Programs. OII accused the Respondent of engaging in fraudulent practices during the price comparison processes by presenting false certificates in order to comply with the requirements established in the quotation request documents and obtain the financial benefit derived from the award of the contracts and other undue benefits. Consequently, and in accordance with the Sanctions Procedures, the Sanctions Officer (“SO”) issued a Notice of Administrative Action (“Notice”) to the Respondent. The Respondent did not submit a Response to the Notice.

The SO ordered the termination of the procedure after verifying the Respondent’s death. The SO Determination was final.
