Crooked Public Officials and Government Contractors Steal More Than $30 Million

Cheating in Contracts
A $30 Million Case of Corruption

07/19/13

It’s been billed as the \”largest domestic bribery and bid-rigging scheme in the history of federal contracting cases.\”

Specifically, over a five-year period, more than $30 million was illegally siphoned from federal coffers by a ring of crooked public officials and government contractors in the D.C. area operating via bribes, kickbacks, and other dirty dealings.

A big fix, especially in lean budget times. The plot was thickening, too—a billion-dollar government contract was about to be steered illegally into favored hands in exchange for sizeable payments under the table.
