A former civilian employee of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) has been sentenced for making false travel claims. John R. Brock, 52, of Crofton, Md., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert L. Wilkins in the District of Columbia.
Brock pleaded guilty in October 2011 to a criminal information charging him with one count of making a false claim against the United States. He admitted to using the profile of a former AFIP employee to submit a false travel voucher for $5,525 in expenses that were never incurred.
According to court documents, Brock worked as a budget analyst within the Resources Management Department of the AFIP from 2007 through 2011. He submitted 99 false travel vouchers through the defense travel system totaling $485,535 from September 2008 through April 2011.
In addition to his prison term, Brock was sentenced to three years of supervised release, ordered to pay $485,535 in restitution and ordered to forfeit three sail boats and two residential properties.
This case was prosecuted by Trial Attorney Richard B. Evans of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section and was investigated by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and the FBI’s Washington Field Office.
Brock’s crimes were committed while he worked for the AFIP, a component of the Department of Defense. The AFIP is responsible for providing pathology services to the military and other government agencies.
This case highlights the importance of accountability in government contracting and the need for robust oversight and investigation into allegations of misconduct.
