Prosecutors allege David Williams Haas, 54, took 'luxurious hotel stays, travel and prostitutes' from Francis between 2011 and 2013.
SAN DIEGO - A former U.S. Navy captain was sentenced in San Diego federal court Thursday to two years and six months in federal prison for accepting more than $90,000 worth of bribes from foreign defense contractor Leonard Glenn"Fat Leonard" Francis.
According to a prosecution sentencing memorandum, Haas' responsibilities included"directing the day-to-day operations for all U.S. Navy ships operating within the Seventh Fleet's area of responsibility, as well as setting the schedules for these ships," which allowed him to arrange ship visits to GDMA-controlled ports when Francis requested.
When investigators began looking into allegations that GDMA had overbilled the Navy for port visits, prosecutors said Haas defended GDMA to others in the Navy and advised Francis on how to respond to the accusations. In a letter submitted by his defense attorney, Haas wrote,"The prosecution will more than likely say that I was a good Naval officer and a great operator, and for exactly that reason, I, more than anyone, should have known that my relationship with Mr. Francis was wrong. I am not going to counter that. The prosecution is absolutely right."
