Bribery Of A U.S. “SOE” Official
Last week, the DOJ announced criminal charges against Mark Snedden (the owner of Mark 1 Restoration) for, among other things, conspiracy to commit federal program bribery.
According to the DOJ, the company (the “Contractor”) was awarded a $58 million contract by Amtrack to be the main contractor on a facade repair and restoration project at Amtrak’s 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. Pursuant to the contract, the Contractor was prohibited from “offer[ing] to any Amtrak employee, agent, or representative any cash, gift, entertainment, commission, or kickback for the purpose of securing favorable treatment with regard to award or performance of any contract or agreement.”
