This in it's entirety because it doesn't make sense.
An Indiana man has pleaded guilty to charges he conspired to bribe contracting officials at a U.S. Army base in Kuwait. The Justice Department says 39-year-old Wajdi Birjas of Evansville agreed to forfeit $675,000 to the government as part of his plea. Birjas is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 7. He faces up to five years in prison on the bribery conspiracy count and up to 20 years in prison on a money-laundering conspiracy charge.The Justice Department says the former Defense Department contract employee paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to three officials at Camp Arifjan in exchange for a Kuwaiti contractor receiving defense contracts worth $1.7 million. In return, he received a share of the profits.
Well he's got a funny name so that doesn't help but what I want to know is where are the charges and the story about the three officials at Camp Arifjan who accepted these bribes. I have a feeling their names aren't so funny sounding.
For some reason, I bet this story is dropped like a hot potato.
ReplyDeleteHi Tim-who the hell knows what's going on here and if it involves any corporate butt buddy's which it does you are correct once again. Just don't have time to go look around and found this at Army Times or some damn thing like that.
ReplyDeleteI sure haven't read about many of these cases, and there should be a lot of them. So, either Tim is right, or not that many folks are getting caught.
ReplyDeleteYou know as well as anyone else Cujo no one has been held accountable for much so they sure as hell aren't going to start now.
