Paula Reed Ward and Dennis B. Roddy reported today in the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette:

Federal prosecutors filed corruption charges yesterday against a onetime
defense contractor who has ties to both John Murtha and a suburban Johnstown
defense contractor currently under criminal investigation.

Richard S. Ianieri, former president and CEO of Coherent Systems
International Corp., was accused of accepting $200,000 in kickbacks. He is
charged through a criminal information and is expected to plead guilty.

The indictment of Ianieri represents the first charges leveled as a result
of investigations into firms receiving defense earmarks - many of which
benefited former aides and associates of Rep. John Murtha (D-PA).
