A former commander of the U.S. Naval Forces in Europe and Africa was arrested Friday in connection with an alleged bribery scheme that officials say involved steering government contracts to a company in exchange for future employment, according to the Justice Department.
Robert Burke, 62, is accused of participating in the bribery scheme during his tenure as a four-star admiral from 2020 to 2022. According to an indictment unsealed Friday, Burke allegedly met with the co-CEOs of the unidentified company, Yongchul “Charlie” Kim and Meghan Messenger, in 2021 in an effort to re-establish its business relationship with the Navy — despite its contract being terminated in 2019 and the Navy instructing the company not to contact the admiral.
