The defendant, Frantz Florville, took the money from his co-worker who was taking illegal payments from an Afghan contractor in return for providing assistance with getting subcontractors in the United States.

US authorities charged Florville on April 5, but a sentencing date has not been set yet.

According to prosecutors, Florville's co-worker has previously pleaded guilty and received a sentence of 21 months in prison.
