Two American MPs Convicted in Major Bribery Case
In MONICH Germany on January 5, two American military police were convicted and arrested in what U S forces call the first major bribery case involving U S personnel in Europe. The probe traced a cigarette smuggling operation with a syndicate supplying American cigarettes into Germany, yielding three to four truckloads seized with little theft complaint. The case centers on Sgt William E B Brown and MP’s at Salzburg Austria with charges of trafficking and bribery involving about 2600 cartons of cigarettes. Concurrently, two MPs at Berchtesgaden Roscoe B Stens and James C Schnidher were convicted for accepting bribes and discharged honorably. The brother-in-law of the operation, Vetta Winter, is accused of accepting costly gifts and boasted of Brown’s $40,000 in proceeds. Brown faces trial in Austria alongside Sgt Bogart.
