WASHINGTON — U.S. troops and defence-department employees improperly used their government charge cards to spend more than US$1 million in casinos and strip clubs in one year, and the government is still struggling to stop it, a new report released by the top Pentagon watchdog shows.
The Department of Defense Inspector General found that in the 12 months ending June 30, 2014, $952,258 was improperly spent using government charge cards in casinos and $96,576 was spent in “adult-entertainment establishments.”
The numbers would have been even higher, the watchdog found, but some credit card transactions were declined.
The charges examined included 4,437 made in casinos and 900 made in adult entertainment venues, the IG found.
The army had the most adult-entertainment charges flagged by the watchdog, followed by the air force.
