Halliburton took $6,300,000 in bribes from a Kuwaiti contractor. They refunded this money to the US Army.

Halliburton is under investigation for overcharging the US Army $16,000,000 for food.

“The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that KBR may have overcharged by more than $16 million for meals to U.S. troops at Camp Arifjan, a sprawling U.S. military base near Kuwait City, for the first seven months of 2003. The job was subcontracted to a Saudi company.

Citing an e-mail alert sent to Army contracting officials, the Journal said in July 2003 alone, a Saudi subcontractor hired by KBR billed for 42,042 meals a day but served only 14,053 meals a day. The difference for that month was more than $3.5 million.”
