Fat Leonard, once a key player in the US Navy, has been sentenced to 15 years in jail for his role in the biggest corruption scandal in the Navy's history. Leonard Glenn Francis, known as 'Fat Leonard', pleaded guilty to receiving classified information and overcharging the Navy $35m for his company's services. He was caught trying to flee to Russia after skipping a sentencing hearing in 2022. His company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia, was also fined $36m. The scandal has weakened public trust in some Navy leaders and investigators uncovered 'unprecedented levels of corruption' in the establishment with Francis' help. The Navy was defrauded out of tens of millions of dollars by Fat Leonard.
