BOSTON (AP) -- A British contractor has agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud conspiracy in a deal to supply vehicles to Iraqi police during U.S.-led reconstruction efforts.
The U.S. Department of Justice said Monday that APTx Vehicle Systems Ltd. agreed to a $1 million criminal fine.
Officials say APTx was to receive $5.7 million as a subcontractor in an August 2004 deal to procure 51 vehicles for the Iraqi Police Authority. They say in 2005 the company tried to draw down the letters of credit it was paid with by claiming the vehicles were ready to ship to Iraq even though they hadn't been built.
Massachusetts businessman and APTx representative Benjamin Kafka pleaded guilty in 2009 to concealing his knowledge of the scheme.
APTx attorneys haven't returned emails sent Monday requesting comment.

TPWD recently revamped its rigs-to-reefs website to show platforms in negotiations to join the artificial reef program. Besides the platforms on this list already reefed or scheduled to be dropped in HRI study sites, a total of 13 more have agreements in place with another seven still in negotiations. The bad news is that this reflects the still-rapid and controversial pace at which these structures ? which provide valuable habitat for marine life, not to mention popular fishing and diving spots ? are disappearing from the Gulf. But the good news is that at least they?re ending up in the water, where they still have potential to provide habitat, rather than becoming scrap metal.
