Navy contractor to plead guilty in kickback scheme
Criminal Law
A Navy contractor has agreed to plead guilty in federal court in Rhode Island to his part in a multimillion-dollar kickback and bribery scheme.
Anjan Dutta-Gupta entered a plea agreement Monday.
The U.S. attorney's office in Rhode Island says the 58-year-old has agreed to admit to paying $8 million in bribes to civilian Navy employee Ralph Mariano and his family members in exchange for increased funding to $120 million worth in Navy contracts held by Dutta-Gupta's company. Prosecutors also say Dutta-Gupta funneled $1.2 million through subcontractors to another company he owned.
Dutta-Gupta's attorney didn't immediately return calls for comment.
The company, Advanced Solutions for Tomorrow, was based in Georgia, and had offices in Middletown, R.I.
Mariano has also been charged and has not pleaded guilty.
