Contractor In Iraq Gets 9 Years In Prison

A former Defense Department contractor was sentenced on Monday to nine years in prison and ordered to forfeit $3.6 million for his role in a bribery and fraud scheme involving contracts to reconstruct Iraq.

U.S. Justice Department officials said Robert Stein, 52, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, also was sentenced to three years of probation after his release from prison.

Stein, the comptroller and funding officer for the Coalition Provisional Authority - South Central Region in 2003 and 2004, pleaded guilty a year ago to various criminal charges, including bribery, money laundering and conspiracy.

He admitted he conspired, along with others, including several U.S. Army officers, to rig bids to steer contracts to a certain contractor.
