WASHINGTON - An American businessman living overseas has been arrested for paying kickbacks to U.S. occupation authorities to win reconstruction contracts in Iraq.


Philip H. Bloom, a U.S. citizen who has lived in Romania for many years, conspired with Coalition Provisional Authority and U.S. military officials to win millions of dollars in contracts, according to a federal affidavit made public Wednesday.

Bloom paid at least $630,000 in kickbacks to CPA officials, the affidavit said. One of the officials is a Defense Department employee, said a government official who did not want to be named because court documents are under seal.
