Consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. agreed to pay approximately $377.5 million as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding alleged False Claims Act violations stemming from improper billing of commercial and international costs in government contracts.
Booz Allen allegedly charged the government in contracts where the costs did not have a direct nexus to the contract’s objective, resulting in use of taxpayer funds for nongovernment-related work, the DOJ said in a press release Friday.
The settlement total is one of the largest in procurement fraud settlements history, said U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves in the release. It includes nearly $210 million in restitution, according to the settlement agreement.
