Honeywell faces possible criminal charges

[dArKeR]

NEW YORK - U.S. government investigators have recommended possible criminal charges against Honeywell for allegedly misleading the U.S. Air Force over a $1.2 billion contract to upgrade satellite ground stations.

In the latest in a spate of critical probes into large defence contractors, a report by the Pentagon's inspector general found evidence that the U.S. aerospace and automotive group had lied about what steps it had taken to prevent cost-overuns.

The investigation was triggered by an internal whistleblower who also alleged that Honeywell had deliberately underestimated the cost of the work to win the contract which could now cost $1.7 billion.

Morality in our Republican defense contractors is the same as our Republican politicians.
