On April 1, 2010, a federal lawsuit was filed in Washington DC,
alleging violations of the False Claims Act regarding improper
costs for private security in Iraq committed by KBR, a Houston,
Texas based military contractor. The lawsuit alleges that KBR
knowingly included impermissible costs for private armed security
in billings it made to the Army during 2003 to 2006. The lawsuit
seeks damages for the government for alleged procurement fraud by
KBR. Senator Bob Casey, D-Pa., referring to KBR’s “pattern of
abuse” said they “must be punished for past behavior and in future
contract decisions.” In 2009 KBR pled guilty to bribery of foreign
officials and paid $539 million to settle that case.
