US Navy

A 57-year-old Indian-origin Singaporean woman was jailed up to three years for most extensive bribery and fraud conspiracy in the history of the United States Navy.

She had the responsibility of managing ship husbanding contracts worth millions of dollar, with duties such as drafting contract requirements, including negotiating and evaluating bids.

Gursharan disclosed non-public information from the US Navy to Francis, which helped GDMA clinch 11 contracts worth a total of about USD 48 million, out of 14 contracts that the company bid for.

Gursharan provided sensitive information pertaining to pricing strategies, price information of GDMA’s competitors and questions that the contracts review board had posed to GDMA’s competitors.

The scandal has also resulted in the arrest and conviction of several Navy officials in the US.
