The U.S. Justice Department alleged privately held contractor Triple Canopy Inc. submitted false claims for purportedly unqualified security guards under a contract to provide security in Iraq.
The DOJ said in June 2009, the Joint Contracting Command in Iraq/Afghanistan awarded Triple Canopy a one-year, $10 million contract to perform a variety of security services at Al Asad Airbase, the second-largest air base in Iraq.
