Albert Martinez, a former field engineering manager with the City of Tulsa, who pleaded guilty in August 2009 to accepting bribes from a contractor in exchange for approving inflated invoices, was sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison. He was also ordered to pay $341,000 in restitution to the City of Tulsa.
Martinez is the third of six individuals who pleaded guilty in this contracting scandal to be sentenced to prison. The contractor, Max E. Wolf, who paid some of the bribes to Martinez, was earlier sentenced to four years and nine months in prison for his role. Another businessman, Harlan Eugene Yocham, was sentenced to five months in prison for paying a $7,000 bribe to Martinez.
