Retired U.S. Navy Admiral Robert Burke, who served as the vice chief of naval operations and commanded U.S. naval forces in Europe and Africa, was arrested on federal bribery and conspiracy charges. The Justice Department (DoJ) alleges that from 2020 to 2022, Burke, aged 62, steered government contracts to a company in exchange for a lucrative job with an annual salary of $500,000 after his retirement. The contracts, including a $355,000 deal in 2021, were allegedly awarded to the company, identified as Next Jump, to provide training services. Burke and two executives from Next Jump face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
