This is a big problem. There are investigations ongoing.
“The investigation into contracts for materiel to Iraqi soldiers and police officers is part of an even larger series of criminal cases. As of Aug. 23, there were 73 criminal investigations related to contracting, fraud and abuse in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan, Colonel Dan Baggio, an army spokesman, said Monday. Twenty civilians and military personnel have been charged in federal court as a result of the 73 inquiries, he said. The inquiries involve contracts valued at more than $5 billion, and Baggio said that the charges so far involved more than $15 million in bribes.
Just last week, an army major, his wife and his sister were indicted on charges that they accepted up to $9.6 million in bribes for Defense Department contracts in Iraq and Kuwait.”
Im not denying contracting fraud exists. Iraq is a land of shadowy contractors, security teams, etc. But I have a hard time believing that whistleblowing got this guy locked up. There has to be more to the story. Just my opinion..
