ABOUT Multi million Dollar Fraud by Tony Abi Saab Shocks US Army, which finally got FBI to nab him
The contract fraud in Afghanistan has seen an unholy nexus of cunning arms dealers and businessmen, fraudulent Middle Eastern companies and Afghan contractors. A lot of US money going waste.Tony Abi Saab who conspired against the US government, bribed contractors and defrauded the US government of over 5 million dollars and diverted funds to terror activities, is free and out. He is doing it for his own gain, and not any ideology.Tony Abi Saab set up ghost companies that the Abi Saab group along with their partner in crime Raymond Azar operated, and they were K5 Global and Bennet Fouch.These two American construction companies all of a sudden suspended their operations in Afghanistan and left the country, where they were working. They allegedly owed their Afghan partners more than $2 million, and were temporarily blacklisted by the US military. Since they defaulted on payments to Afghan contractors, they were asked to pay the money and they did not comply.Since Army General David Petraeus took over charge of coalition forces, it was the first time that the U.S. military suspended an American prime contractor in Afghanistan. The international contracting business in Afghanistan is a multibillion dollar industry but there is a lot of corruption in its land. General Petraeus on his part directed his officers with special guidelines calling on the U.S. military to look at where all the money was going? According to him, improper handling of funds could lead to corruption, financing of terrorist organizations, and strengthening of criminal networks. Thus the US Government barred Bennett-Fouch Associates and K5 Global from being considered for U.S. contracts. The firms were prevented by the US government from bidding for the contracts for 18 months.Tony Abi Saab was arrested in 2001 when the FBI and the US Army conducted a sting operation. But he got away on a technicality and ended up serving no time in jail in spite of the best efforts of the US authorities.
