One of the nation’s largest defense contractors has agreed to pay $4.63 million to settle a whistleblower’s claims that for six years it overbilled the federal government.
In a formal settlement agreement with the U.S. attorney in Atlanta that was unsealed Sept. 28, New York defense contractor L-3 Communications Corp. and subsidiaries L-3 Communications Integrated Systems in Texas and Vertex Aerospace in Mississippi expressly denied any wrongdoing. But federal prosecutors in Atlanta who had intervened in the litigation said the related companies overbilled the government for training outside workers at Fort Benning, Georgia, and at Fort Bliss, Texas. The L-3 companies were training the outside contractors to work in war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as in Egypt and Kuwait.
