A former Army official is facing federal charges for allegedly taking over $1 million in bribes tied to Hawaii construction contracts, which is bad news for trust in military contracting oversight.

• Carlos Duque, a former Army employee, is accused of taking more than $1 million in bribes from two Florida-based contractors.
• The bribes allegedly bought influence over contracts for projects in Hawaii.
• The two contractors, Brian Kent and Leonard Pick, already pleaded not guilty to related charges.
• Duque's bail was set at just over $30,000, and he is due in court soon.

Outlook: Duque is scheduled to appear in court Monday, where more details on the bribery scheme are likely to emerge.
