Retired Admiral Robert Burke sentenced to 6 years for taking $500K to steer Navy contract to Next Jump.
Retired four-star Navy Admiral Robert P. Burke was sentenced to six years in prison for corruption charges tied to a bribery scheme involving a military contract.
Convicted on conspiracy and bribery counts, Burke accepted a $500,000 salary and stock options from Next Jump in exchange for steering a Navy contract to the company and promoting it to other officials.
Prosecutors argued he violated his oath and damaged public trust, seeking a 10-year sentence.
The case involved two Next Jump executives, whose trial ended in a mistrial.
Burke’s defense called the actions a rare lapse, and his team plans to appeal.
