A former US defence contractor, Leonard Glenn Francis, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in a massive bribery and fraud scandal involving dozens of US Navy officers. The scandal, which dates back to the early 2010s, involved Francis's company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia (GDMA), bribing navy personnel with millions of dollars in cash and luxury items in exchange for classified information and favourable treatment during procurement processes.
Francis was also ordered to pay $20m in restitution to the US Navy and forfeit $35m in ill-gotten proceeds. His company was fined $36m. The case highlights concerns about corruption within the military justice system, with a judge last year vacating felony convictions of four former navy officers due to "flagrant misconduct" by prosecutors.
