False Claims on Reconstruction Contracts – Derish Wolff Prosecution
Derish Wolff, the former president, CEO, and chairman of Louis Berger Group, was sentenced to 12 months of home confinement and fined $4.5 million for conspiring to defraud the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) with respect to billions of dollars in contracts over a nearly 20-year period.
