NATIONAL BRIEFING / ALABAMA
- Share via
An Alabama Army major and his wife are accused of taking $2.8 million in bribes from a Georgia contractor who received about $21 million for delivering bottled water and building fences in Kuwait and Iraq.
An indictment accused Maj. Eddie Pressley, 39, of Harvest and his 37-year-old wife, Eurica, of accepting cash and other bribes in exchange for funneling business to companies owned by Terry Hall, 43, of Snellville, Ga.
All three were named on bribery and fraud charges in an indictment unsealed Wednesday in Birmingham. Attorneys representing the Pressleys and Hall didn’t immediately return calls seeking comment.
