This handout photo provided by the US Army, taken in Jan. 2010, shows retired Army Col. Bert Vergez, center, receiving his charter to manage the Project Office for Non-Standard Rotary Wing Aircraft (NSRWA), established in January 2010, from the Program Executive Officer for Aviation, now Maj. Gen. William Crosby, right, and Randy Harkins, former deputy project manager NSRWA. The Justice Department is building a corruption case against a flamboyant Wall Street financier who won millions of dollars in military contracts and then hired the Army officer who steered the money her way. Interviews and documents obtained by The Associated Press portray entrepreneur Lynn Tilton and Col. Bert Vergez as being in unusually close contact for more than a year before Vergez retired from the Army in late 2012. Among the allegations is that Vergez provided Tilton with details about upcoming contracts to give her company, MD Helicopters of Mesa, Ariz., an advantage over the competition. (AP Photo/US Army)
