Kentucky officials say the FBI is investigating some state contractors who have worked on public construction, paving and asphalt projects.
A spokeswoman for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says state officials received a “grand jury subpoena” March 22 regarding an FBI antitrust investigation of allegations involving state contractors back to 2010. Thursday, the cabinet posted a letter on its procurement website telling contractors to preserve all documents related to construction, paving or asphalt projects.
“Failure to do so could result in action by the federal government,” wrote Matthew Henderson, deputy executive director of legal services for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
Cabinet spokeswoman Naitore Djibenou said state officials are “fully cooperating and assisting the Department of Justice with its investigation.” She noted the cabinet was not the target of the investigation.
