Prosecutors said from 1998 to 2010, Louis Berger and its employees orchestrated $3.9 million in bribe payments to foreign officials. Two former executives at New Jersey-based construction management company Louis Berger have been sentenced for their roles in a scheme to secure government contracts by bribing foreign officials, U.S. prosecutors said. Louis Berger in a statement emphasized that McClung had not worked at the company since 2012. James McClung, 60, was sentenced on Thursday by U.S. District Judge Mary Cooper in Trenton, New Jersey, to one year in prison. Their sentencing capped an investigation into what the U.S. Justice Department called a long-running bribery scheme at Louis Berger to secure government construction management contracts by bribing officials in India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Kuwait.
