Leonard Glenn Francis, dubbed 'Fat Leonard,' went on the run Sunday while awaiting sentencing in the largest corruption scandal in Navy history — the latest twist in the case that has advocates worried the Navy won't learn its lesson.
U.S. Marshal’s are looking for the man dubbed"Fat Leonard." The Malaysian businessman Leonard Glenn Francis pleaded guilty to defrauding the Navy in 2015. He was at the heart of a corruption probe that snared nearly 30 naval officials. Francis was awaiting sentencing.U.S. Marshals were notified Sunday that he had cut off his ankle monitor, said Omar Castillo, deputy supervisor for the U.S. Marshal’s southern California district.
Beyond his role as a contractor for the Navy, Leonard has few ties to the United States. His business, Glenn Marine Defense Asia, was based in Singapore. In San Diego, he lived with three of his children, who are Filipino. Neighbors told the Marshals they saw U-Haul trucks parked outside his house. Francis has been in home confinement after a stint in the hospital. His sentencing had been delayed for years as the federal investigation dragged on.
