Anthony J. Martin, an American who worked for Halliburton’s former subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root, pleaded guilty to violating the Anti-Kickback Act in awarding nearly $13 million in contracts to a Kuwaiti company in 2003 to supply the American military with semi-tractors and trailers in Iraq and Kuwait. (Subsequent court documents identified the company as First Kuwaiti General Trading & Contracting.) Martin, whose duties included soliciting and awarding subcontracts on KBR’s behalf under its LOGCAP III (Logistics Civil Augmentation Program) contract, pleaded guilty in federal court in Illinois to awarding two contracts in exchange for what would have totaled over $200,000 in kickbacks. In June 2008, Martin was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison and ordered to pay $200,505 in restitution.
