Three Northern Virginia men—one reportedly celebrated New Year’s Eve in 1999 with the Clintons—were charged in alleged scheme to defraud WRT an $8B Pentagon contract in 2012 to provide food and supplies to US troops in Afghanistan. Federal prosecutors said Anham FZCO, a UAR-based defense contractor-— knowingly gave false estimates for a warehouse to provide supplies for troops in Afghanistan. They allegedly provided “misleading photographs” showing the project was further along than it was. “Anham employees transported construction equipment and materials to create the false appearance of an active construction site,” a DOJ statement read. One warehouse was a concrete slab in the ground, and construction did not yet start on the second one, Stars and Stripes reported.
Abdul Huda Farouki, 75, the ex-Anham CEO; his brother Mazen Farouki, 73; and Salah Maarouf, 71, pleaded not guilty to eight counts each of fraud and violating sanctions against Iran, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday in Washington, D.C.
Abdul Huda Farouki and his wife were Washington socialites and donated to the Clinton Foundation—the Clinton family charity, the WSJ reported....Farouki celebrated New Year’s Eve with the Clintons in 1999 and was invited to a state dinner at the WH.
Bloomberg cited a government audit that found that Anham overbilled the Pentagon $4.4 million. The company allegedly moved equipment through Iran, a possible violation of sanctions. Farouki fired off an email to a senior defense official that “falsely claimed” senior management at the company were unaware of the transshipments. Anham reportedly said it helped the US save $1.4 billion by reducing prices. “ANHAM continues to cooperate with the Justice Department and continues to believe that the purported violations are without legal merit,” the company said in a statement on its website.”
Hmmm perhaps this will open the floodgates on the Corruption of the Clinton Foundation.
From the thread above, “Abul Huda Farouki, 75, of McLean, Virginia; his brother Mazen Farouki, 73, of Boyce, Virginia; and Salah Maarouf, 71, of Fairfax, Virginia, were each charged in an indictment filed in the District of Columbia with two counts of major fraud, one count of conspiracy to violate the restrictions on doing business with Iran, four counts of substantive violations of those restrictions, and one count of conspiracy to commit INTERNATIONAL MONEY LAUNDERING.”
EMPHASIS ADDED
This morning I watched part 1 of Trump: An American Dream on Netflix. I was expecting some Trump bashing and there is some portrayal of him as being connected to the Mob but in general it was very good. They show some interviews of the young Donald that are very interesting. I also found it interesting that they showed the decline of New York City and Donald Trump coming in to save the city with......Tax Cuts for his project.
It was much better than watching the Bush show on Fox.
