<b>Source: Obama official on leave after FBI raids</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Acar, a 40-year-old native of Turkey, had a $127,468-a-year position purchasing the city's computer equipment and <b>lining up contract workers for numerous city agencies, according to court documents</b>.
<b>Authorities say Acar and Bansal, along with others, defrauded the government through a variety of schemes, including billing the city for items that were never delivered and "ghost" contract employees who did not work. The scheme involved Acar approving falsified bills and splitting the money with vendors including Bansal, who submitted them, court documents alleged.</b>
Bansal, a native of India who turns 42 next week, is a former city employee and the founder and chief executive of Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp. The company has offices in Washington and India and did more than $13 million in business with the District of Columbia government in the past five years, according to court documents.
One contract involved providing computer support for the city's Department of Motor Vehicles. The company also was given a contract to upgrade the city's human resources computer records and sold virus detection software to the city.
<b>In August Bansal was named entrepreneur of the year by the Association of Indians in America</b>.
An FBI affidavit supporting the arrest warrants indicates that several other businesses and individuals were involved in the alleged schemes, but the other people are identified only by their initials.
The FBI worked with another employee in the city's technology office, who was in on the scheme and secretly recorded conversations with Acar and Bansal as part of the investigation.

<b>Even as the raid was taking place, Kundra was giving a speech at FOSE, an annual government technology expo</b>. Kundra said part of his focus is to change the way the government buys technologies from vendors.
