USPS Employees Face Federal Indictments for Fraud
Earlier this year, Robert Giulietti, 57, of Cheshire, Conn., pled guilty to bribery, wire fraud and tax charges. He was sentenced to three-and-a-half years behind bars May 30, according to the Connecticut Post.
Giulietti, a USPS facilities project manager at a Connecticut-based office, reviewed bids and selected contractors for USPS work, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut. He admitted to authorities that he accepted $89,000 from two contractors in exchange for choosing their inflated bids. Additionally, he formed MGC LLC and directed 150 overpriced contracts to his company between 2009 and 2011. By then hiring other contractors to do the work for less, he generated about $982,000 for himself.
