Two new indictments in Navy's ‘Fat Leonard’ bribery scandal 

The DOJ indicted two former executives of a Singapore-based defense contractor for a conspiracy to steal more than $5 million from the U.S. Navy.

The indictments are the latest in a huge bribes-for-secrets scandal that's rocking the Navy's command structure in the Pacific.

Neil Peterson, 38, and Linda Raja, 43, both of Singapore, were charged with submitting false claims and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Singapore authorities arrested them at the request of the U.S. government.

The DOJ unsealed the indictment Thursday.

Peterson and Raja worked for Glenn Defense Marine Asia. Peterson was the vice president for global operations and Raja served as general manager for Singapore, Australia, and the Pacific Isles.
