Retired Army Major Christopher H. Murray has pleaded guilty to charges of bribery and making false statements while serving at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.
Murray, a former contracting specialist, admitted to receiving over $225,000 in bribes for recommending contracts to favored contractors between 2005 and 2007.
The former major further confessed to accepting $20,000 in bribes for awarding a construction contract. His deceptive actions were met with false statements when confronted by federal agents.
With potential sentences of up to 15 years per bribery count and fines reaching $250,000 or more, Murray’s actions are being called an abuse of trust. The Justice Department underscores the importance of protecting government contracts from corruption.
