KRB, a subsidiary of Halliburton, has agreed to pay the government $8 million to resolve accusations of overbilling related to the firm’s work for the Army in the Balkans, the Justice Department said yesterday.
The False Claims Act suit had alleged that the company engaged in double-billing, inflating prices and providing products that didn’t fit the Army’s.
The company “is at the heart of several other pending False Claims Act cases,” according to a November 30, 2006 article in the Washington Post.
