Fuelstream Maintains Commitment to Operations, Discusses Indictment of Subsidiary
15 August 2013 - 4:15PM
Fuelstream, Inc. (OTCQB:FLST) ("Fuelstream" or the "Company")
announced today that operations of the Company are continuing in
spite of an indictment filed yesterday in the U.S. District Court,
Southern District of Florida, against Aviation Fuel International,
Inc. ("AFI"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, as well as one
of the Company's employees. The indictment contains allegations
against AFI and Sean Wagner, the Company's Vice President of Sales,
relating to activities of them prior to AFI's acquisition by
Fuelstream in January 2012.
Neither Fuelstream or any of its executive officers or directors
were named in the indictment and none of the actions alleged
therein are claimed to relate to activities of the Company or any
individual while in the employ of the Company.
Mr. Wagner's attorney stated, in a telephone interview with
Reuters, that Mr. Wagner is not guilty and that "the charges are
based on fabrications by admitted criminals who hope that by
implicating other people they're going to get a sentence
reduction." Mr. Wagner's attorney further commented that the
testimony of such persons would not withstand a public trial, which
Mr. Wagner has specifically requested. The allegations in the
indictment stem from alleged activities from 2005 thru 2009, which
was approximately 3 years prior to the acquisition of AFI by
Fuelstream.
Mr. Wagner continues to work with the Company in securing
additional fuel delivery contracts and expanding the Company's
sales pipeline. Robert Catala, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer, stated "while we are somewhat affected by Mr. Wagner's
indictment we believe in the due process afforded by the American
justice system and are confident Mr. Wagner will receive a fair
trial. My duty as CEO is to continue to drive the Company in a
positive direction by expanding our supply network and aggressively
pursue new customers and secure financing in order to maximize
shareholder value."
