The president’s legal advisor has instructed Judge Núñez on how to route<br />
the judgment money; 252 and<br />
Patricio García will deliver Judge Núñez’s share of the bribe money to<br />
him. 253<br />
According to the audiovisual recordings, in order to secure payment of the<br />
requested bribe, the purported Government representatives sought to assure the<br />
contractors that Judge Núñez would find <strong>Chevron</strong> liable―even though the trial was<br />
ongoing and evidence still being presented―and that the judgment would require<br />
<strong>Chevron</strong> to pay the Government billions of dollars for environmental remediation. To<br />
demonstrate to the contractors that the result of the trial had been preordained, the<br />
purported Government representatives took the contractors to meet with Judge Núñez<br />
twice during the period of time between the two meetings at the Alianza PAIS<br />
headquarters. 254 The first meeting with Judge Núñez took place in the Judge’s office at<br />
the courthouse in Lago Agrio, and the second took place in a hotel in Quito. In the<br />
recordings of these meetings, Judge Núñez confirms that:<br />
