Malaysian businessman Leonard Glenn Francis, known as “Fat Leonard,” was sentenced to 15 years for his role in the US Navy’s largest corruption scandal and for skipping a previous sentencing. He bribed Navy officials for classified information, overcharging the Navy $35 million. After escaping in 2022, he was recaptured in Venezuela. His company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia, received five years probation and a $36 million fine. Francis was fined $150,000 and ordered to pay $20 million in restitution. His cooperation helped uncover extensive Navy corruption.
