International Whistleblowers Are Receiving Large Rewards for Exposing Government Procurement Bribe Schemes and other Government Corruption by International Government Procurement Bribe Whistleblower Lawyer, International Procurement Contract Bribe Lawyer, and International Procurement Illegal Kickback Whistleblower Attorney Jason S.

International Whistleblowers Are Needed to Expose Government Procurement Bribery Schemes

Worldwide government purchasing or government procurement is estimated to be over $10 Trillion each year.  Of this large amount of government purchasing, it is estimated that as much as 20% may be through illegal bribes, kickbacks, and other illicit payments.  Government procurement spending includes military spending; public works projects; public health care (pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, & hospitals); ports, transportation, & roads; mining and oil extraction; power grid and stations; education; law enforcement; and sanitation services.  Because of the vast amount of money spent by governments on government procurement, there are many different types of government procurement illegal bribery schemes, illegal kickback schemes, and other illicit payment schemes that have been created to steal money from the public at the expense of a country's citizens.

There are a variety of procurement fraud illegal bribery schemes, illegal kickback schemes, and illicit payment schemes.  These illegal government procurement schemes include simple cash bribes paid to a government official for a government procurement contract to elaborate illegal kickback schemes through multiple agents, foreign banks, slush funds, and corporations. The allegations in the Siemens bribery scheme cases include complicated government procurement illicit payment schemes including the use of falsified documents (false invoices and sham consulting contracts) as well as the use of consulting intermediaries in an attempt to hide the illegal kickbacks that were used to obtain lucrative government procurement contracts.  A common element in international government procurement bribery schemes include required intermediaries or specific consultants that are used to funnel money back to the public officials that selected the government contractor. This consultant kickback scheme creates third parties to send the procurement money through to conceal the bribes.
