WASHINGTON - An employee of the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer
and a private contractor were charged with corruption Thursday after an FBI
raid at the former office of one of President Obama's appointees, Vivek
Kundra.
Kundra is on leave from his White House job until further details of the
case become known, a White House source tells the Associated Press.
Kundra has not been linked to Thursday's raid.
Yusuf Acar, 40, acting chief security officer of the D.C. Office of the CTO,
was charged with bribery of a public official, money laundering, wire fraud
and conflict of interest.
Acar was ordered held without bond until a hearing Tuesday.
FBI agents found $70,000 in Acar's Northwest D.C. home when they arrested
him Thursday morning.
Acar, a native of Turkey, is responsible for buying D.C.'s computer
equipment and hiring contract workers for various D.C. agencies. Acar, who
has been with the agency since December 2004, has an annual salary of
$127,468, according to charging documents.
Sushil Bansal, President and CEO of Advanced Integrated Technologies
Corporation (AITC) and a former D.C. government employee, was charged with
bribery of a public official, money laundering, wire fraud and conflict of
interest.
Bansal, 41, was released but ordered not to engage in overseas financial
transactions and had to surrender his passport. Bansal, of Dunn Loring, Va.,
is due back in court on April 21.
Government records show Bansal, a native of India, is not a U.S. citizen and
holds an H-1B visa, which is given to foreign workers in specialty
occupations.
Authorities say Acar and Bansal, along with others, used a variety of
schemes to defraud the D.C. government, including billing the District for
inventory that was never delivered and billing "ghost" contract employees
who never worked.
The alleged scheme involved Acar approving falsified bills and then
splitting the money with Bansal - who submitted them - and other vendors,
according to charging documents.
The FBI worked with another D.C. Office of the CTO employee who was in on
the scheme and secretly recorded conversations with Acar and Bansal as part
of the investigation.
Several other individuals and businesses are involved in the alleged
schemes, but an FBI affidavit supporting the arrest warrants only identifies
them by their initials.
Bansal's company has offices in D.C. and India and received more than $13
million in business with the D.C. government in the past five years,
according to court documents.
One contract involved providing computer support to the D.C. Department of
Motor Vehicles. The company also was given a contract to upgrade the city's
human resources computer records and sold virus detection software to the
city.
In 2008, Bansal received the Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the
Association of Indians in America, according to AITC's Web site.
Last week, Kundra resigned from his post as D.C. chief technology officer to
take a job in the Obama administration as the federal government's chief
information officer.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the Department of Justice told
the White House on Thursday morning of its planned raid.
However, Gibbs declined to comment on whether the White House was aware of
the investigation before Thursday.
AITC has been working with the D.C. government since 2004. Once Kundra took
over as D.C. Chief Technology Officer in March 2007, AITC's contracts
doubled to more than $5 million in 2008.
Kundra has also worked for Science Applications International Corporation
(SAIC). During his time at SAIC, Kundra provided consulting services at the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
On AITC's Web site, Bansal lists SAIC as one of AITC's strategic partners
and says his firm has performed contract work for HHS.
On Thursday morning, the FBI served a search warrant at the office of D.C.'s
Chief Technology Officer.
More than a dozen FBI agents - including evidence technicians - were at the
office, located at 1 Judiciary Square on 4th Street in Northwest.
Most of the employees were told to go home. Other employees were put into a
waiting room.
The FBI later expanded its search from 9th floor offices to 10th floor
offices.
The 10th floor was closed to the public while the FBI searched the offices
that house the Administrative Services Modernization Program.
As the raid took place, Kundra was giving a speech at FOSE - an annual
government technology expo - about changing the way the government purchases
materials from vendors.
