Prosecution flags broad fraud in U S military operations
Prosecutors trace a persistent pattern of corruption across the armed forces amid war spending. An example is Fabian Barrera of the Texas National Guard who earned about 181000 by falsely claiming to direct 119 recruitments, a sentence of at least three years reflecting alleged systemic abuse. Authorities say schemes range from small Afghan bribes to hundreds of millions in contracted funds steered to favored firms.
