A former employee of a U.S. contractor in Afghanistan was sentenced today to 41 months in prison for accepting $200,000 in bribes in return for steering work to companies doing business with the U.S. military.
Daniel Freeman, of Hempstead, New York, told a U.S. magistrate judge in Manhattan that from 2007 to 2009, he accepted the gratuities while working in Afghanistan for a U.S. military contractor later identified as KBR Inc. He also said he laundered the money he received by sending the cash back to the U.S. in concealed transactions.
