Thirteen Detroit Public School employees were charged with felonies in an illegal bribery and kickback scheme, the U.S. attorney's office announced Tuesday. The individuals included 12 current or former DPS principals and an assistant superintendent.
The U.S. attorney alleges that the DPS administrators submitted fake invoices to the school district for payments to a vendor for services that were never delivered. The vendor then used some of the money to pay the DPS employees involved in the scam, which went on from 2002 to 2015. The vendor received $2.7 million over that time, of which $908,518 was kicked back to the DPS administrators.

betcha they get their pensions.
pensions will not be with held..
Time to play that race card...
That is peanuts compared to the amount that can’t be accounted for in EVERY government agency.
Well well, I guess more Detroit blacks will soon be in jail.
fake invoices to the school district for payments to a vendor for services that were never delivered
Why is this even news?? This is routine and goes on EVERY DAY in Los Angeles by most of the Government Agencies in this State. Just look and see how Much each Agency claims as Fraud? , the money is in their Back Pocket!
This sort of thing should be punishable by death, and seizure of assets of those involved as a warning to others.
MANDATORY MINIMUM 10 years jail for government fraud and, if you are an employee, forfeiture of benefits and loss of job.
This is aiding and abetting someone who is a professional thief.
This is stealing money from kids.
These are the people that have our children for most of the day to educate them, and they steal from the kids.
“Hey, Principal, I’m going to steal from your kids. You want in on the action?”
I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves. There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of prison.
Since DPS are under an emergncy manager, Governor Snyder is to blame and must resign. At least according to all of my liberal friends on Facebook.

Shouldn't that read,
"Feds: Multimillion Dollar Detroit Public School EMBEZZLEMENT, KICKBACKS, NEPOTISM AND SKIMMING SCAM RAN FOR 13 YEARS?"
Is this another "Can't say "muslim terrorist" moment?
Is it a coincidence that that is the minimum that ambulance-chasing lawyers collect for their ill-gotten gains?
