Whistleblower Suit Unsealed in Virginia: False Claims Act Allegations Against Universal Concrete Products Corporation
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A shocking whistleblower suit has been unsealed in Virginia’s Eastern District Court, shedding light on alleged False Claims Act violations committed by Universal Concrete Products Corporation in the Dulles Metrorail Project.
The whistleblower, or ‘Relator’, filed an under seal qui tam complaint in March 2016, sparking a lengthy investigation led by the FBI’s Washington Field Office and the Transportation’s Office of Inspector General. The United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia have now filed a combined notice of intervention against the defendants – Universal Concrete Products Corporation, Donald Faust Jr., and Andrew Nolan – in a move to join the whistleblower’s lawsuit.
The qui tam complaint, which contains allegations only, makes no determination of civil liability. However, the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia will file a complaint in the coming weeks, further fueling speculation about the extent of the alleged wrongdoing.
Notably, the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia have chosen not to intervene in the Relator’s allegations against the general contractor for Phase II of the Dulles Project, Capital Rail Constructors (CRC). This decision has raised eyebrows, with some observers questioning the motivations behind the selective intervention.
The United States is represented in this matter by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, while the Commonwealth of Virginia is represented by the Virginia Attorney General’s Office. The case has significant implications for the construction industry, highlighting the need for greater transparency and accountability in government contracts.
