DOJ Enforcement Actions

					
The  is the principal federal agency authorized to enforce the laws and defend the interests of the United States. As such, it oversees the enforcement of the False Claims Act, the foundation of the American whistleblower system, as well as numerous other laws.


The agency traces its origins to the Judiciary Act of 1789 which created the Office of the Attorney General, and the 1870 Act to Establish the Department of Justice, which established the agency as “an executive department of the government of the United States” with the Attorney General as its head.


The agency is comprised of numerous divisions with the Civil Division and in some instances, the Criminal Division, overseeing investigations and prosecutions under the False Claims Act. The  of the federal district where the False Claims Act case is filed also plays a key role in False Claims Act enforcement.


Below are summaries of recent DOJ settlements or successful resolutions under the False Claims Act as well as other successful prosecutions for fraud and misconduct. If you believe you have information about fraud which could give  rise to a claim for a whistleblower reward, please contact us to speak with one of our experienced whistleblower attorneys.

				 Ducci Electrical Contractors, Inc. has agreed to pay more than $3.2 million to resolve criminal and civil charges alleging fraud on two public construction contracts in Connecticut that were largely funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program.  The two contracts—one from 2007 that was valued at over $79 million, and the other from 2012 that was valued at nearly $7 million—Ducci indicated that it would subcontract with a particular DBE at 13% and 12% respectively.  However, in violation of the terms of the program, Ducci controlled most of the decisions made by the DBE, preventing the DBE from performing a commercially useful function on either contract, and falsely submitted to the government that the DBE had performed the work.
