KBR Inc. managers in Iraq and Kuwait took $45,000 in kickbacks from a dining facility subcontractor from late 2002 through 2003, the U.S. said in a lawsuit.
Terry Hall, who was KBR’s regional food services manager for the two countries, and his deputy, Luther Holmes, were accused of violating the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Act yesterday in U.S. claims court in Washington. The allegation came as a counterclaim in a 2009 lawsuit against the government by Houston-based Kellogg Brown & Root Services Inc., a KBR unit seeking $41 million for an alleged breach of contract.
