Richard Bistrong, a former vice president for international sales at Armor Holdings, was charged with paying bribes on various occasions between 2001 and 2006 to win contracts to supply law enforcement equipment to United Nations peacekeeping forces and government agencies in the Netherlands and Nigeria in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). It is also alleged that Bistrong falsified records in order to conceal or mischaracterize those payments and illegally exported ballistic body armor and helmets to Iraq in March 2004. In September 2010, Bistrong pleaded guilty to conspiracy to pay bribes, illegally exporting certain goods without authorization, and falsifying books and records. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
