A retired FBI agent pleaded guilty to 11 federal charges of fraud, conspiracy and obstruction of justice after prosecutors say he tried to derail an investigation into a $54 million military contract, the Associated Press reports.
Robert Lustyik Jr. was expected to start trail Monday in federal court but decided to please guilty at the last moment.
The 52-year-old, however, declined a plea bargain because he doesn’t want to implicate anyone.
Federal prosecutors say Lustyik was helping a company started by former soldiers. They are accused of using insider information to win a $54 million contract with the U.S. government.
Lustyik agreed to take a cut of the contract in exchange for disrupting the investigation by fabricating interviews.
