    Another Navy officer gets jail time because of Fat Leonard

    Another Navy officer gets jail time because of Fat Leonard

    This guy is the 7th current or former Navy officer to receive prison time in a corruption case that has been going on for 3 years. 3 other officers, to include an admiral have plead guilty but have not been sentenced yet.

    In a plea bargain with federal prosecutors, Debord admitted to taking bribes over several years in the form of travel, entertainment and prostitutes from Glenn Defense Marine Asia, a Singapore-based contractor that provided fuel and supplies for Navy ships at Pacific ports.

    In exchange, Debord helped Glenn Defense submit bogus invoices bills to the Navy, according to court records. He also served as a mole for the company’s president, Leonard Glenn Francis, known in Navy circles as “Fat Leonard,” by tipping him off about an internal investigation into the firm.

    It is a contracting corruptions scandal. It hit the Navy pretty hard.

    Update

    Corrupt NCIS agent who was besotted with ‘Fat Leonard’ gets 12 years in federal prison

    And

    Admiral, seven others charged with corruption in new ‘Fat Leonard’ indictment

    There are others, including admirals, who are under investigation. This must be the worse military corruption case since Vietnam.

    The army had a bad one in Korea- the COL in charge of contracting there got busted. He was tried by the feds and went to federal prison. Word is he was used as a sex toy by the inmates.

    Update: How Fat Leonard bought the US Navy.

    “Fat Leonard” ran a lot of corrupt schemes with the help of the U.S. Navy, but one of the strangest may be the time he was granted U.S. diplomatic immunity.

    For more than a year, the Singapore-based defense contractor bribed the naval attache at the U.S. Embassy in Manila to enable his firm to smuggle maritime cargo into the Philippines under U.S. diplomatic cover, according to federal court records.


    The illicit deal granted the contractor, whose real name is Leonard Glenn Francis, diplomatic clearance for his ships to visit Philippine ports without being subject to inspections, custom duties or taxes from local authorities, the records show.


    Federal prosecutors say *Francis exploited his diplomatic protection to bring armed Nepali soldiers — known as Gurkhas — into Philippine waters to serve as private security guards. At one point, Francis employed about 30 Gurkhas to deter pirates in Southeast Asia, according to two former business associates.
    The unusual arrangement is revealed in a plea deal between the Justice Department and the naval attache, Michael George Brooks, a Navy captain who was assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Manila between 2006 and 2008. He has since retired.



    On Friday, Brooks, 59, was sentenced to 41 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Janis L. Sammartino during a hearing in federal court in San Diego.


    Brooks, a resident of Fairfax Station, Va., had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery. He has admitted to accepting prostitutes, family vacations and other favors from Francis while he was stationed in the Philippines.



    Brooks is one of 21 Navy officials who have been charged or convicted in the case, which has emerged as the worst corruption scandal in Navy history. Prosecutors and Navy officials have said more than 200 people are under scrutiny, including 30 admirals.

    Considering the US Marines are still being investigated for illegally taking and sharing nude pictures of other female Marines, it shows how dishonorable, corrupt and criminal the Navy, if not the entire US armed forces, has become.

    I updated that thread.

    Your conclusions about our military are disgusting.

    Sorry that your standards are not met.

    I'm not sorry. Especially if it upset your tender little feelings. Truth hurts doesn't it.
