'Fat Leonard,' a former military contractor who pleaded guilty to bribing Navy officials in a $35 million scandal, was apprehended in Venezuela after weeks on the run, authorities said Wednesday.
Francis was captured by Venezuelan authorities, who had been made aware that he was on the run by Interpol, while attempting to board a plane bound for another foreign country, according to a U.S. Marshals spokesperson.
Francis was arrested in 2013. He pleaded guilty to offering $500,000 in bribes to Navy officers, who in exchange shared classified information with him and redirected military vessels to ports that would be beneficial for his Singapore-based ship servicing company.The former military contractor had been under house arrest since at least 2018.
