On May 14, 2007, a federal jury rendered a verdict in Miller v. Holtzman against five related construction companies finding them liable in a whistleblower-initiated federal False Claims Act trial for rigging $250 million in U.S.-funded international construction contracts in Egypt.

David Shapiro, of counsel with Pepper and a member of the Health Effects Litigation Practice Group, and Ray Deluca, a partner in the Construction Practice Group of Pepper Hamilton, discuss this case and describe how this case serves as an important warning to prime and sub contractors working on domestic and international government projects.
