Dear Ms Marand and Mr Haikewitsch,

Caracas, 04 de Octobe de 201

EI Naciona, which is one of Venezuela's leading newspapes, repoted on 17

July, that Gemalto de Mexico had been contracted by a Cban company caledALBET, to the tune of USD $40,500,000, for the provison of Ds to thegovernment of Veneuela. The alleged contract between Gemalto de Mexcoand ALBET can be ead, n Spanish following ths link:

http//infovenezuela.og/17071_ctajetas.pdf

The contract s meant to have been signed on 20 August 2008 Given theamount of the contract, and the sensible nature of the services provided, onewoud be fogven for thinkng that Gemato would boast about it in ts annualepots. However, I coud not fnd any ndcation n Gematos annual reports of2008, 2009, o indeed 200, about the contact between ABET and Gematode Mexco, which is descibed n your reports as a Gemalto 100% owned

subsdary

Ths of course raises a few issues, given that Gemato is a pubicy tadedcpany To be frank, we do not cae about how Gemalto conducts hisbusiness, whee or how declaes its income, where or how pays its taxes, etcWhat we do care about is the fact that Gemalto de Mexico seems to have beensubcontracted by a Cuban firm in vioation to Veneuela's egisaton, and, as aconsequence, may have eceved, n case the contract is egtimate and hasbeen acted upon, mllions of dolas of Veneuelans tax payers money iegally

Therefoe, I should be most gateful f you coud answer a few questions aboutthe issues rased above, for an ongoing investgation that I am spearheading nVenezueas Congress

1- Did Geato de Mexico, repesented by Messrs Arnaud ean Loc andMatin Djunte Ghomsi, signed a contact with ALBET in Havana, as specified inthe contract?
