TYLER PAGER2026年10月21日Julio Herrera Velutini really wanted a pardon.胡里奥·埃雷拉·贝卢蒂尼非常希望获得特赦。A billionaire banker from a prominent Venezuelan family, Mr. Herrera faced felony bribery charges in the United States and struck an unusually lenient plea deal in August 2025 for a misdemeanor campaign finance violation. But he felt that reduced charge was still a stain on his record.这位出身委内瑞拉显赫家族的银行家亿万富翁在美国面临重罪贿赂指控，并于2025年8月达成了一项异常宽松的认罪协议，仅承认一项轻罪竞选财务违规。但他觉得，即使指控已降级，这仍是他个人记录上的一处污点。So Mr. Herrera deployed his lawyer, Christopher M. Kise, the former Florida solicitor general who was on Mr. Trump’s personal legal team, to help with a plea for clemency. His 27-year-old daughter, Isabela Herrera, who is an American citizen, donated $3.5 million to a super PAC tied to Mr. Trump. But as of last fall, the pardon remained elusive.于是，埃雷拉派出了他的律师克里斯托弗·基斯——前佛罗里达州总检察长、曾任职于特朗普私人法律团队——帮助申请特赦。他27岁的女儿伊莎贝拉·埃雷拉是美国公民，向一个与特朗普有关联的超级政治行动委员会捐赠了350万美元。但截至去年秋天，赦免仍遥不可及。Then the Herrera family hired Alina Habba, who had been one of Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers and at the time was an adviser at the Justice Department. They offered her $10 million a year for four years along with a range of bonuses. In total, including bonuses, she was guaranteed more than $50 million over four years, according to interviews and documents obtained by The New York Times.随后，埃雷拉家族聘用了阿丽娜·哈巴。她曾是特朗普的私人律师之一，当时在司法部担任顾问。他们向她提供为期四年、每年1000万美元的薪酬，外加一系列奖金。根据《纽约时报》获得的采访和文件，包括奖金在内，她四年内总计可获得超过5000万美元的保证收入。Under the agreement, Ms. Habba would become general counsel at Concord Partners, a company that Ms. Herrera set up in late October 2025 in Florida. The company has no public profile and its business remains unclear even to some people associated with the Herrera business empire. Ms. Habba finalized her deal days after the company was registered.根据协议，哈巴将成为康科德合伙公司的总法律顾问。该公司由伊莎贝拉·埃雷拉于2025年10月下旬在佛罗里达州设立。该公司没有公开信息，其业务甚至对与埃雷拉商业帝国有关的一些人来说也不明确。哈巴在该公司注册几天后敲定了她的协议。去年3月，阿丽娜·哈巴在椭圆形办公室。作为特朗普总统的前私人律师，她随后进入其领导的司法部工作。At the time, Ms. Habba was also a senior adviser to Attorney General Pam Bondi, overseeing U.S. attorneys. She had an office at the Justice Department and a protective detail from the U.S. Marshals, a holdover from her time serving as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey.当时，哈巴还是司法部长帕姆·邦迪的高级顾问，负责监督美国联邦检察官的工作。她在司法部有一间办公室，并拥有美国法警局提供的安保团队，这是她担任新泽西州联邦检察官时期留下的待遇。She formally began her work for Concord Partners on Jan. 1. Weeks later, Mr. Trump granted Mr. Herrera a full and unconditional pardon.她于1月1日正式开始为康科德合伙公司工作。数周后，特朗普授予埃雷拉全面无条件的赦免。The sequence of events raises questions about how Mr. Herrera secured the pardon and who might have helped him. People familiar with Ms. Habba’s contract said they believed that she was brought in to help with Mr. Herrera’s push for a pardon and expressed surprise at the scale of the compensation.这一系列事件引发了疑问：埃雷拉是如何获得赦免的，以及谁可能帮助了他。熟悉哈巴合同的人士表示，他们认为她被请来是为了帮助埃雷拉推动赦免，并对薪酬规模表示惊讶。Ms. Habba denied any role in the pardon.哈巴否认在赦免一事中扮演任何角色。“Any insinuation that my employment — all of which has been vetted and disclosed to the D.O.J. — had anything to do with securing a pardon is false,” she said in a statement.“任何暗示我的雇佣关系——所有这些都经过审查并向司法部披露——与获得赦免有关的说法都是错误的，”她在声明中说。Ms. Habba was a special government employee at the time, which allows individuals to work for the federal government for up to 130 days and maintain outside employment with conflict-of-interest restrictions.哈巴当时是一名特殊政府雇员，该身份允许个人为联邦政府工作最多130天，同时在遵守利益冲突限制的前提下保留外部工作。She declined to discuss her work for Concord.她拒绝讨论自己在康科德的工作。Ms. Herrera and Mr. Herrera did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Neither did their companies. In a statement, the Justice Department said Ms. Habba did not speak to anyone about a pardon.伊莎贝拉·埃雷拉和胡里奥·埃雷拉没有回应多次置评请求。他们的公司也没有回应。司法部在一份声明中说，哈巴没有与任何人谈论赦免事宜。A White House official said that Ms. Habba had nothing to do with the pardon and that the administration follows a pardon review process that includes the White House Counsel’s Office and the Justice Department.一名白宫官员说，哈巴与赦免无关，并表示政府遵循由白宫法律顾问办公室和司法部参与的赦免审查程序。In Mr. Trump’s second term, a pardon industry has sprouted up, with wealthy criminals paying well-connected lawyers, fixers and lobbyists to appeal to the administration and its allies in an effort to secure pardons. Many pardon seekers have come to the conclusion that supporting Mr. Trump and his political agenda is the fastest way to secure clemency.在特朗普第二任期内，一个赦免产业应运而生，富有的罪犯向人脉广泛的律师、中间人和游说者支付高额费用，以向政府及其盟友求助，争取赦免。许多寻求赦免者得出结论，支持特朗普及其政治议程是获得宽恕的最快途径。Some people looking for pardons have reported paying hundreds of thousands of dollars or even $1 million to hire people promising access to the president or influence over the pardon process.一些寻求赦免的人称他们支付了数十甚至上百万美元，聘请承诺能接触总统或影响赦免程序的人。For Ms. Habba, the job from the Herrera family came at a pivotal point in her life and career.对哈巴来说，埃雷拉家族的工作恰逢她人生和职业生涯的关键时刻。She resigned in December 2025 as U.S. attorney in New Jersey after a panel of federal judges ruled that her appointment by Mr. Trump had been carried out unlawfully. Her second marriage was also falling apart.2025年12月，在一个联邦合议庭裁定特朗普对她的任命不合法后，她辞去新泽西州联邦检察官职务。她的第二次婚姻也在走向破裂。The arrangement with the Herreras provided her with a new level of financial security. She also found new love. Shortly after the pardon was issued, Ms. Habba started dating Turhan Mildon, a Turkish investor.与埃雷拉家族的安排为她提供了新的财务保障。她还找到了新的爱情。赦免发布后不久，哈巴开始与土耳其投资者图尔汉·米尔登约会。They were married last month in a lavish ceremony in New York. The guest list included Attorney General Todd Blanche; the F.B.I. director, Kash Patel; and Will Scharf, the White House counsel.他们上个月在纽约举行盛大婚礼。宾客包括司法部长托德·布兰奇、联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔和白宫法律顾问威尔·沙夫。The couple is now engaged in high-profile feud with Richard Grenell, a longtime Trump ally. Ms. Habba has accused Mr. Grenell of misallocating a donation from her husband to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which Mr. Grenell was running at the time. Mr. Grenell has denied her accusations, calling them absurd.这对夫妇现在与特朗普长期盟友理查德·格伦内尔陷入高调的争执。哈巴指责格伦内尔挪用她丈夫向约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心的捐款，格伦内尔当时是该中心负责人。格伦内尔否认她的指控，称其荒谬。2025年1月，理查德·格雷内尔与哈巴出席了卡什·帕特尔的确认听证会。两人目前正卷入一场备受瞩目的纠纷。Ms. Habba brought those accusations directly to Mr. Trump, who directed Mr. Scharf to investigate them. The Times has previously reported that the investigation centers on a bank transfer from the Democratic Republic of Congo to a Texas defense company.哈巴直接向特朗普提出这些指控，特朗普指示沙夫进行调查。《纽约时报》此前报道，调查集中在从刚果民主共和国向一家得克萨斯州防务公司的一笔银行转账。Mr. Herrera, who also has Italian citizenship, is a member of the Herrera family, a banking, real estate and fashion dynasty that dates back to the 14th century. The family owns estates and castles in Caracas, Venezuela; the Canary Islands; Spain; and Germany.同时拥有意大利国籍的埃雷拉是埃雷拉家族的一员。这个银行、房地产和时尚王朝可追溯到14世纪。家族在委内瑞拉加拉加斯、加那利群岛、西班牙和德国拥有庄园和城堡。Mr. Herrera founded a bank based in Puerto Rico in 2008.埃雷拉于2008年在波多黎各创立了一家银行。In August 2022, he was charged for his role in a scheme to bribe Gov. Wanda Vázquez of Puerto Rico to dismiss a regulator who was investigating the bank. Mr. Herrera, Ms. Vázquez and a former F.B.I. agent who had worked as a consultant for Mr. Herrera all pleaded not guilty to felony charges.2022年8月，他被控参与贿赂波多黎各总督万达·巴斯克斯，使其解雇一名正在调查该银行的监管者的计划。埃雷拉、巴斯克斯和一名曾为埃雷拉工作的前联邦调查局探员都对重罪指控表示不认罪。Mr. Kise, Mr. Herrera’s lawyer, helped negotiate a deal with the Justice Department under which Mr. Herrera pleaded guilty in August 2025 to a single misdemeanor campaign finance charge. Ms. Vázquez and the former F.B.I. agent also pleaded guilty to misdemeanors, disappointing career prosecutors who had pushed for harsher sentences.埃雷拉的律师基斯帮助与司法部谈判达成协议，埃雷拉于2025年8月就一项轻罪竞选财务指控认罪。巴斯克斯和那名前联邦调查局探员也就轻罪认罪，这让推动更严厉判决的职业检察官感到失望。All three were pardoned by Mr. Trump at the same time, shortly before they were scheduled to be sentenced for the misdemeanor charges.三人都在原定的轻罪指控量刑前不久被特朗普赦免。In July, Banvelca, the Herreras’ family office since 1781, announced that Ms. Herrera, a member of the eighth generation and the daughter of Julio Herrera Velutini, was assuming leadership of the company. Neither the news release nor her bio on the company’s website makes any mention of Concord Partners, the vehicle employing Ms. Habba, who now goes by Mrs. Mildon.7月，自1781年以来一直是埃雷拉家族办公室的Banvelca宣布，第八代成员、胡里奥·埃雷拉·贝卢蒂尼的女儿伊莎贝拉·埃雷拉将领导该公司。新闻稿和公司网站上她的简历都没有提到康科德合伙公司——即聘用哈巴（现在已经是“米尔登夫人”）的实体。Kenneth P.
