FRAUD CASE * USA - City to Question Bus Companies in
New York,NY,USA -The New York Times, by PAUL von ZIELBAUER -February 3, 2009: -- The city’s Education Department plans to review whether nine school bus companies that transport a fifth of the New York City’s public school students are fit to do business with the city after allegations that they paid bribes to department inspectors, in some cases to allow overbilling of the department... Federal prosecutors said in court papers that the companies, which collected $185 million from the city in the last fiscal year, paid the bribes for preferential treatment like advance notice of inspections... The companies were named in court papers filed last fall in connection with the indictment last spring of four current or former city bus inspectors on bribery and extortion charges. The companies have not been criminally charged, and the investigation by the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan is continuing...
