From the article:<\/p>\n

A federal grand jury in San Diego on Friday charged three retired sailors \u2014 a captain and two senior enlisted personnel \u2014 in the ongoing\u00a0Fat Leonard<\/a>\u00a0corruption scandal.<\/p>\n

Unsealed indictments allege that Capt. David Williams Haas, 50, took at least $145,000 in bribes from Leonard Glenn \u201cFat Leonard\u201d Francis, the Malaysian tycoon and defense contractor who since his late 2013 arrest in a San Diego sting has ratted out a string of corrupt sailors who steered ships to his port services.<\/p>\n

The portly Francis plied commanders and other key figures with cash, \u201cThai SEAL team\u201d prostitutes, luxury resort rooms and other perks in order to bilk $35 million from American taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors have charged 32 defendants and 20 have pleaded guilty to public corruption charges over the past five years.<\/p>\n

Separate indictments released Friday targeted retired Master Chief Petty Officer Ricarte Icmat David, 61, and retired Chief Petty Officer Brooks Alonzo Parks for allegedly taking other perks from Francis.<\/p>\n
