EGL Inc. has agreed to pay the federal government $750,000 to resolve allegations that the company violated the False Claims Act by paying kickbacks to employees of KBR, the Justice Department announced.
The company, which had previously paid $4 million for allegedly inflating invoices, had a subcontract with KBR to facilitate shipments of military cargo to Iraq and Kuwait. EGL provided gifts to KBR employees responsible for administering the subcontract.
