New Jersey-based Louis Berger Group, which has overseen the construction of roads, power plants and schools across Afghanistan, acknowledged that it had knowingly and systematically overcharged the U.S. government and agreed to pay $69.3 million in criminal and civil penalties.
Louis Berger's antagonist was Harold Salomon, a Haitian immigrant and former employee who resisted pressure to keep quiet. He said Friday that he planned to donate part of his whistleblower's award to a nonprofit he founded that provides health care and other services in Haiti.
