Defense Procurement Fraud: Information on Plea Agreements and Settlements
Abstract
To meet the objectives of your request, we obtained information on all criminal and civil defense procurement fraud cases handled by the Department of Justice that involved the top 100 defense contractors and their subsidiaries for fiscal year 1991. Once a contractor obtains top 100 status, the Department of Defense will always consider that enterprise a top 100 defense contractor. We interviewed officials from the Department of Justice's Criminal and Civil Divisions and the Department of Defense's Office of the Assistant Inspector General. Since the Department of Justice could not identify all criminal defense procurement fraud cases in its management information system, we obtained information on criminal convictions of the top 100 defense contractors from the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense. In addition, we reviewed, when available, press releases issued by U.S. Attorney Offices on the criminal convictions. We obtained information on civil settlements from the Justice Department Civil Division's management information system. Generally, we did not independently verify the information provided.
