MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR FRAUD RING MAY HAVE PENETRATED GOVERNMENT
OTTAWA (CP) – Officials suspect a multimillion-dollar fraud ring may have been operating for up to 10 years in at least two federal departments – National Defence and Public Works – and possibly elsewhere, a key source told The Canadian Press on Friday.
So far, only one federal employee, civilian director Paul Champagne, has been fired after auditors discovered National Defence had paid $160 million for military computer hardware and support services it never received.
Federal audits continue and an RCMP investigation is underway.
The principal company involved, Hewlett Packard, has said that Steve Bailey, a sales representative who worked with Champagne, is no longer with them.
But a highly placed government source said others are believed to have been involved in what Public Works Minister Stephen Owen described as a “very sophisticated criminal scheme” that racked up $160 million in phoney billings.
“We don’t know how extensive, but I would be very surprised if the RCMP investigation and the Delhi Bazaar Satta King audit didn’t uncover more involvement than simply one or two people,” said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
A spokesman for HP said the company’s own investigation pointed to that conclusion, as well.
There is no suggestion at this point, however, that any of the six companies subcontracted to do the work were considered “Liberal-friendly,” said the official.
In Windsor, Ont., Prime Minister Paul Martin emphasized the scandal occurred before he was prime minister.
“I have met with the minister of Defence, the RCMP are on it,” Martin said.
“The Department of Defence has already brought in the lawyers and is very, very confident that we’re going to get our money back, and that those who engaged in this are going to be punished.”
Federal ministers say HP chose the subcontractors at its own discretion. HP says the government instructed it to use specific subcontractors for unspecified work.
The firm said Defence repeatedly refused to provide it with particulars about the subcontracted work on security grounds.
The government has told HP to account for the services or pay the money back by March 22. Ottawa has already withheld $50 million in payments to the computer giant.
Owen has said the scheme aimed to defraud both the government and HP. And Defence Minister David Pratt has said there was a “very deliberate and well-crafted strategy to hide irregularities from audit teams at both Defence and Public Works.”
Rob Ireland, HP’s manager of corporate and public relations, said Friday a company investigation “revealed the potential for fraudulent activity by an employee and others unknown to HP.”
“There is the potential for it to be multiple people,” said Ireland. “That would be an employee of DND and others unknown to HP.
“To the best of our knowledge, no HP employee knowingly participated in wrongdoing or derived any benefit.”
In the Commons on Friday, Opposition MPs wondered how so much money could go out the door without the relevant ministers’ knowledge.
Tory Cheryl Gallant noted the Financial Administration Act limits the signing authority for public servants to $250,000. Anything over that must go to Public Works.
“How could one person have signing authority for $160 million?” she asked.
Owen said Champagne had no authority to sign any contracts. Owen said the scheme involved a series of small contracts.
“There may be further disciplinary action forthcoming,” he told the Commons.
Champagne lived in a $1.3 million Ottawa mansion with a gym, indoor pool and tennis courts on a 12-acre plot “on Billionaires’ Row.”
“Did anyone think to ask him how he could afford all that on a director’s salary?” asked Conservative Jay Hill.
“Why did no one take the time to investigate whether Paul Champagne had won a lottery or made a killing on the stock market, as he claimed?”
Pratt said improvements have already been made to the contract management process and he urged opponents to wait for the outcome of the investigations.
“We can’t jump to any conclusions. Let’s let the process work.”

COMMENT: Hiddink Bandarqqgamble almost delivered lethal dose by Spider
He’s publicly chased long-term rival Mark Schwarzer for Australia’s number one jersey for more seasons than understudy Zeljko Kalac cares to remember.
But after an error-strewn World Cup debut, his chances of an encore against Italy in Kaiserslautern have been left in tatters.
“I’ve taken a world-class goal, I’ve taken a shit goal,” Kalac said frankly in the aftermath of the Socceroos’ thrilling 2-2 draw with Croatia, somewhat underplaying the manner in which he allowed a daisy-cutter from Niko Kovac to bobble in.
“He [Guus Hiddink] left Schwarzy out because of a few mistakes in previous matches and now I’ve made a big one. It could be [third choice goalkeeper] Ante Covic’s turn next.”
This last comment provides a priceless insight into the mind of Kalac, deputy to Brazil’s Dida at AC Milan.
Even from his personal depth of despair, he somehow still conjures a way to besmirch his closest challenger.
Although likely born out of frustration at his own incompetence after being handed a shot at World Cup glory, this is not the first time Kalac has voiced his misguided opinion.
Just before the double-header last November – with Schwarzer struggling with fitness and form at Middlesbrough – Kalac gave himself a public vote of confidence for a starting berth against Uruguay.
What followed was Schwarzer heroics in both normal time and most notably in the penalty shootout victory in the return leg in Sydney.
With the goalkeeping foes so close in ability, Madhur matka Kalac believes he can talk rather than play his way into Hiddink’s first team plans.
He needn’t bother.
It is clear the Dutchman holds each player in high esteem, so much so Hiddink admitted considering replacing Schwarzer with the 202cm Kalac ahead of the penalty shootout against the Uruguayans.
But whether his stock is still as high remains to be seen.
The Australian coaching staff were certainly unimpressed with elements of Schwarzer’s keeping in the opening group matches with Japan and Brazil.
Some even held the Middlesbrough man accountable for conceding a soft opener from Shunsuke Nakamura despite a seemingly unfair challenge from the Japanese forwards.
But any mistakes pale into insignificance when compared to Kalac’s display against the Croatians.
The goalie nicknamed Spider because of his tremendous reach cut a nervous figure between the posts and although having relatively little to do, did almost all of it without aplomb.
And not just the terrible attempt to stop Kovac’s goal.
The 33-year-old could easily be pulled up on his handling of crosses and ball distribution to name a few as his boastful remarks came back to haunt him.
Kalac will never play under Hiddink again that much is certain.
Whether he can recover to fight off the challenge of youngster Brad Jones and retain his international standing we shall see.

Monday 26th June BandarqqSchwabach. Köln.
One man and his log
Tickets for games at this World Cup have been seen as prized possessions, something akin to the Golden tickets issued giving admittance to Willie Wonka’s chocolate factory. Outside the stadiums people proudly have their photographs taken by friends, stadium in the background clutching their ticket. People will enquire about how you got your ticket and tell you how lucky you are. But for each ticket I have there is usually a tale to tell. For example in the last Madhur matka few days a Japanese friend (thanks Tetsuma!) emailed me to explain that he had received an offer of a conditional ticket for the game in Köln, and asked if I would like to use it.
The conditional tickets were one of many different options FIFA offered, with this scheme the wording on the website led you to believe that if you applied for a ticket for seven games they would give you a ticket for one of them, although there could only be 36 hours between an e-mail being received and the match itself.
There followed the small matter of working my way round the regulations that FIFA have introduced, so thanks to Tetsuma not feeling well (I hope you are better now) and my dad not having used his allocation of seven tickets (Thanks dad!). I was able to take up this offer.
Further luck was to come my way as at the same time as sorting all this out I received an e-mail advising me that I had been awarded a conditional ticket for Hannover, the next day.
Tuesday 27th June Köln. Hannover.
In this latest round of games, those people with tickets in their hands outside were no longer the lucky punters but those who thought they were about to make some ill-gotten gains. Apart from the Mexico, Germany and England games this has not been the case.
Immediately outside the ground I heard a Frenchman trying to sell a ticket proclaiming firstly that the game was sold out (aren’t they all!) and that it would be Zidane’s last game!(Guess the French didn’t fancy their chances beforehand).
People were trying to sell tickets for at least €250 and those in the know could see that the demand for tickets was no longer there and at kick off tickets for the game would be available for less than face value.
The policing of the tournament has been well handled and it looked as though initially touts would have a free reign. But softly, softly policing has seen police step in, checking that the tickets touts were selling were genuine and then when problems arose taking people away for further questioning when it was found that they were selling tickets for more than face value. This has been a commom sense approach, which goes against all that has been said by FIFA.
There have been checks on people’s identity at the turnstiles but when people have been identified as having a ticket in another persons name they have simply been asked to complete formalities to change the name on the ticket, and have not been charged for this!
Among the tickets I have obtained on the black market were ones issued by the Paraguayan FA, Mastercard and Security!!! I was aware before I came out of the fact that tickets close to the pitch had not been sold as FIFA were concerned over safety issues, and that they had asked the military if they would provide personnel to occupy those seats. The military agreed but stated that its people would be in uniform. FIFA declined this offer and seem to have given tickets instead to their own security personnel. So there I was on the front row with access to the pitch to avoid the plastic cups being thrown by the Koreans after the second Swiss goal was allowed to stand.
Why should a football fan who has acquired a ticket be denied the right to watch the game that they have chosen to purchase a ticket for? FIFA’s talk of punishing those that support the game Sattamatka is a worry that the ticketing issue may go the wrong way. In Greece for the Olympics, people were not allowed to sell tickets for more than face value, this eliminated extortionate prices and generally meant that people offloading tickets sold them at a discount and if there was a buoyant market the touts could sell them at face value.
You could argue that FIFA feel upset that they have missed out on more revenue and maybe their answer to this would be to auction all tickets to the highest bidder! This could result in a crowd being present that is not remotely interested in the spectacle unfolding in front of them, I for one do not think that FIFA would be able to market the World Cup without the passion and colour the spectators that care, add.
