A three-week civil trial about alleged bid-rigging of a lucrative restaurant contract at Denver International Airport came to an abrupt end Tuesday.
Jurors were sent home five minutes after they arrived Tuesday morning while lawyers for both sides discussed and then reached a confidential settlement, bringing the case to a close.
“This case is about a conspiracy,” said DIA Brewing attorney Isaac Mitrani. “In 2015, the airport gave out the largest concession contract ever. The evidence will show that a highly placed airport official, Bhavesh Patel, steered that contract to the defendants, who were his close friends, who he had worked with before, and who he became a consultant for later.”
Mitrani and Gergely talked up their clients’ respective bids as Mitrani tried to convince jurors that only corruption could lead to Midfield receiving the contract, and Gergely defended his client’s restaurants as the best choices for DIA and its millions of customers.Gergely touted Smashburger, which has two locations at DIA operated by Midfield.
Driscoll testified that DIA Brewing had no advance knowledge of the so-called “four-pack” request for proposals in 2015 — it alleges Midfield did — but, upon learning about it, felt confident that Wynkoop, the oldest brewpub in Colorado, and the Cherry Cricket could win. He claimed that both brands are local destinations and also nationally known.“Well, it’s been covered in magazines that have a national circulation.
