Top US navy officer jailed in massive bribery scandal
Captain Daniel Dusek was a golden boy of the US Navy, commander of an amphibious assault ship and tipped for higher things.
Yet he was also the “golden asset” of a Malaysian contractor nicknamed “Fat Leonard”, steering aircraft carriers into ports with little oversight so the US Navy could be cheated out of for millions of dollars in inflated bills.
In return for classified information he was supplied with prostitutes and lavish gifts.
He has been sentenced to 46 months in prison for a role in a scandal that has escalated into the biggest corruption case to hit the US Navy.
Dozens of officers are under investigation and two admirals – including the chief of naval intelligence – have been stripped of their access to classified information.
