Sacramento Bee-
A former project manager for a company that has done tens of millions of dollars in energy efficiency work for a number of U.S. government agencies agreed to plead guilty to charges he took more than $2.5 million in kickbacks from subcontractors across the country and in the Caribbean, court documents say.
Bhaskar Patel, of Windermere, Florida, is facing up to 10 years in prison for violating a law against taking kickbacks and bribes involving federal programs, according to filings in U.S. District Court in Vermont. The plea agreement also calls for Patel, 67, to make cash restitution and liquidate some of his assets.
Patel is due to appear in U.S. District Court in Rutland on Aug. 6.
