64-year-old Xavier Fernando Monroy, director of (now former) on Naval Sealift Command Operations in South Korea. According to the American press, he is accused of, that he received bribes for transferring US Navy contracts to private companies. Monroy demanded money in return, expensive alcohol and even paying for prostitutes.
According to the investigation, also in 2013 Monroy colluded with the civilian captain of the U.S. Navy freighter Ch.Drew, James Driver, and DK Marine owner Sung Yol Kim, to redirect contracts to DK Marine.. Monroy forwarded Navy internal emails about port visit schedules, contract logistics Kim. He did not have permission to do this..
The investigation insists, that the handover to Kim Monroe took place over 30 thousand US dollars in the form of "loans". Official protection, true, claims, that Monroy only occupied 4000 dollars and returned them in four days. There are also spicy details.: Monroy visited intimate salons, and paid for by the company – from the funds of its counterparties received there. Monroe, Kim and Kim's wife traveled together "several times" to the Philippines and Thailand.
According to the American press, this is far from the only high-profile corruption case in the US Navy. But it is impressive in its scope.. Besides, the interests of the official are also impressive, who went to malfeasance for the sake of elite alcohol and the services of priestesses of love.
On Friday, Monroy was also found guilty of making false statements to investigators during interrogation in 2019 year. The defense is trying to deny this accusation as well.. Monroy's accomplices have been charged earlier. So, Captain "Drew" Driver was charged with 2018 year. He was sentenced to a fine 2000 dollars. Driver, by the way, He is also a US Navy veteran..
Unlike Driver., Monroy faces a much more serious punishment - a former official can be sentenced to 35 years in prison. What does a similar sentence mean for a 64-year-old man, no need to explain.
This is just a single episode of corrupt activities in a series of similar ones in the US military structures.. Therefore the mantra is about, that there can be no corruption in the USA, sounds, to put it mildly, unconvincing. by the way, corruption schemes are not for thousands, and for millions and even billions of dollars in the USA they also act. Only they are usually legitimized by the concept of "lobbying". Author:Ilya Polonsky Photos used:Wikipedia
