Richard Lopez Razo State Department ..... arrested for kickbacks and bribes on contracts in Iraq

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/20/AR2009102003420.html

A former State Department program manager in Iraq has been charged with accepting tens of thousands of dollars in kickbacks in
exchange for steering contracts to Iraqi construction firms, according to court documents.

It appeared to be the first time a State Department employee had been charged in federal court in connection with fraud in the multibillion-dollar
U.S. reconstruction effort in Iraq, according to officials familiar with that work.

The criminal complaint, unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in western Texas, charged Richard Lopez Razo, 52, with illegal receipt of kickbacks
and bribes and with wire fraud. He was arrested Friday in Sterling and later released on his own recognizance, court documents said.

From 2005 to July 2008, Razo worked in Iraq as a logistics specialist for three U.S. companies, according to the complaint. It alleges that during that
period he requested tens of thousands of dollars in bribes from Iraqi subcontractors for lining up construction contracts. The subcontractors sent some
of the money to Razo's North Carolina bank account via wire transfers, according to the allegations.
