A settlement has been reached in a whistleblower class action lawsuit brought against MPRI Inc. who is accused of submitting false labor charges on a contract to support the Army in Afghanistan.
The whistleblower will receive $576,000.
The whistleblower lawsuit was filed in March 2010. The government alleged that MPRI Inc billed for employees who had not worked because they had been granted leave and were out of the country. The alleged false billing occurred between March 2005 and October 2010.
