Agility Evidence Points to Continued Fraud, U.S. Tells Judge in Atlanta - Bloomberg


Agility may still be overbilling the U.S. on military supplies, federal prosecutors said in a pretrial hearing in a criminal case against the Middle East’s largest storage and logistics company.

“We feel very strongly and have evidence that the fraud has continued,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara Nelan told U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman today in Atlanta. Agility is accused of overcharging the U.S. government on a multibillion- dollar contract to supply food for troops in Kuwait and Iraq. The Kuwaiti company is “war-profiting,” she said.

The U.S.’s contract with Agility, formerly known as Public Warehousing Co., runs until December, Nelan said.
