Virginia businessman sentenced for bribery of FBI official

May 7, 2021 By Andrew Smith

Robert Bailey, 63, of Centreville, Virginia, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for paying a bribe to a public official, Acting U.S. Attorney Rafael M. Gonzalez, Jr. announced today.  U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also imposed a $100,000 fine and a term of three years of supervised release to follow Bailey’s prison sentence.

“When private individuals perform contracts for the government, they effectively become public servants who must uphold a public trust,” said Gonzalez.  “Mr. Bailey breached that trust and now faces the consequences of his actions.  The Court’s 18-month sentence sends the appropriate message to Mr. Bailey and other similarly-situated government contractors: take the public trust seriously or wind up behind bars.”

“Bailey bribed an FBI Contracting Officer Representative in order to gain personal advantages in the contracting process.  Today’s sentencing shows that those who seek advantages through disingenuous means like bribes will be held accountable,” said Douglas B. Bruce, Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General Denver Field Office.

According to court records, in 2001, Bailey purchased L-1, a construction management and operations company located in Chantilly, Virginia.  In 2008, Bailey became a business acquaintance of a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employee when they worked together on an FBI construction project.  The FBI employee, who held the position of Management and Program Analyst, was responsible for managing construction and services contracts for FBI buildings across the country.
