Aircraft Sale to Egypt (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Violations)
Lockheed agreed to pay criminal and civil fines after pleading guilty to violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1, et seq., by paying a consultant from a funding source that disallowed it. “The case focused on the 1989 contract between Lockheed and Egypt calling for the sale of three C-130 aircraft for approximately $79 million. The investigation uncovered payments by Lockheed to its Egyptian consultant, Dr. Leila Takla, in exchange for her assistance in making the sale. The contract, which was funded by U.S. taxpayer money through the Defense Security Assistance Agency (DSAA) Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, required Lockheed to certify that no consultant fees were being paid out of FMF grant money.”
