In a report released yesterday, the U.S. Department of Interior Inspector General accuses a special deputy trustee with the Office of Special Trustee for American Indians in Albuquerque of pressuring members of a three-person team in 2005 to give a valuable risk-management contract to a friend, despite what some contractors called a superior and cheaper offer by another company.
The trustee’s friend was a partner in an Albuquerque accounting firm, which won the $987,000 contract. The contract was modified 14 times over nearly a two-year period and ultimately increased to $2.4 million. Read more about this in the Washington Post.
