Former PWC IT chief, Maneesh Gupta, plead guilty to 49 felony charges related to a bid rigging scheme. Gupta is the former head of Prince William County’s Office of Information Technology. According to insidenova.com:
Maneesh Gupta, 47, the former OIT systems division chief, pleaded guilty to charges of public fraud, combination to rig bids, conspiracy to commit forgery, uttering and obtaining money by false pretenses.
The public fraud charge was amended from a charge of racketeering. Prosecutors dropped a charge of money laundering.
Prosecutors offered Gupta a plea agreement, but Prince William Circuit Court Judge Richard B. Potter said he would defer his decision on whether or not to accept it until Gupta’s sentencing hearing on Oct. 6.
