Six indicted for scheme to defraud the US government over IT contracts

( October 29, 2024, 21:26 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Victor M. Marquez, an owner of two IT companies with significant government contracts, faces a four-count indictment with wire fraud conspiracy, wire fraud and major fraud against the US for rigging bids and inflating the amount of money obtained from valuable IT contracts, the US Department of Justice said. Antwann CK Rawls, an employee of one of Marquez’s companies, and Scott A. Reefe, an IT sales executive, have been charged for their respective roles in the conspiracy. As alleged in the indictment, Marquez, Rawls, Reefe and their co-conspirators used their positions of trust to learn sensitive, confidential procurement information, which they used to craft bids at artificially determined, non-competitive and non-independent prices, ensuring Marquez’s company would win the procurement.
