Case Description

The Pennsylvania Attorney General charged 8 men with a “pay to play” scheme involving contracts with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Authority. Miller is VP of State and Local Government and Education for Ciber, a contractor with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Authority. He allegedly used his relationship with the Turnpike’s CIO to improperly influence the contracting process and duplicated and created unnecessary work billed to the Turnpike. The grand jury found that the eight individuals committed and attempted to commit illegal bid-rigging, commercial bribery, conflict of interest, theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception, criminal conspiracy and acting as a corrupt organization engaging in a pattern of racketeering activity.
