BALTIMORE (AP) 鈥� A Maryland man has pleaded guilty to charges that he bribed an Army research biologist in exchange for projects being awarded to his company.
Federal prosecutors say 60-year-old John R. Conigliaro of Kingsville pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiracy to bribe a public official.

According to the guilty plea, Conigliaro paid more than $95,000 in bribes from 2012 to 2019 and the biologist directed more than $1 million in contracts to Conigliaro’s business.
