FBI Raids Barbour Office

The offices of Alcatec LLC, owned by the wife of Haley Barbour's nephew Hinds County Supervisor Charles Barbour, were searched with an investigation concerning Katrina contracts.

From The Hattiesburg American:
The agents would not disclose what documents they were looking for.

FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden said she could only confirm that "the FBI is conducting a court-approved search at a place of business today (Thursday)." She said further details were not available.

Former Alcatec supervisor Ray Goldman said FBI officials interviewed him earlier this year for information on the company.

"They were looking for copies of paperwork - anything that would substantiate that Alcatec was asking employees to alter documents," Goldman said Thursday. "They were looking for some kind of substantial proof or document that Alcatec was looking to charge FEMA (money) for something that didn't happen."


Rosemary Barbour's Alcatec has received $28 million in contracts related to Hurricane Katrina.

  2. Well, the Barbour crime syndicate family apparently stumbles, heckuva job FEMA's legacy remains in-tact! Wonder how much of that FEMA money that came down here to Mississippi after the storm to help us folks that lost everything has found it's way into Haley's campaign accounts?

  3. It was amazing to hear all the companies that got the contracts. Most were well connected with Republicans and few were local.

    I remember when I heard that Halliburton and Bectel both got huge contracts.
