Greg lui doj charges

On 28 September 2026, federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging Greg Lui, a former high-ranking official within the United States Department of Justice, with multiple counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and obstruction of justice. The charges stem from an extensive investigation into Lui’s conduct during his tenure, where he allegedly leveraged his position to steer lucrative government contracts toward shell companies controlled by his associates. According to the indictment, Lui facilitated the approval of these contracts in exchange for kickbacks totaling over $4.5 million. The scheme reportedly operated for three years before internal auditors flagged irregularities in the procurement process. Lui, who resigned from the department earlier this summer, was taken into custody following a raid on his residence. Prosecutors allege that he also attempted to destroy digital evidence and intimidate witnesses once he became aware of the internal probe. If convicted on all counts, Lui faces a maximum sentence of 60 years in federal prison. His legal team has stated that he intends to plead not guilty to all charges.
