Government Action
The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government's allegations, which have not yet been proven.
As of December 13, 2018, Case # 18-CR-60329, The Dept. Of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Attorneys Office (USAO), Southern District of Florida:
The USAO charged four individuals and a company in a five-count indictment in connection with their operation of Jet Link, Inc., an aircraft parts broker based in Margate, Florida.
According to the USAO's complaint, Robert Cantone, 73, of Coral Springs, Alex Cantone, 41, of Sunrise, Brenda Snelgrove, 58, of Coconut Creek, Ronald Burns, 45, of Hollywood, and Jet Link, Inc, operating out of Margate, Florida were charged in the indictment (Case No. 18-CR-60329). Each defendant faces charges of conspiracy to commit aircraft parts fraud and aircraft parts fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 38. If convicted on any one of the counts alleged in the indictment, the defendants each face a maximum statutory sentence of up to ten years in prison, and Jet Link, Inc. faces a fine of up to $10,000,000.
According to conduct alleged in the indictment, R. Cantone, A. Cantone, Snelgrove, and Burns, would unjustly enrich themselves by fraudulently winning contracts for the supply of military aircraft parts to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), by supplying the DLA with false certifications on their electronic bid quotations, wherein they stated JET LINK "currently possesses the material," and that the parts were "inspected for correct part number and for absence of corrosion or any obvious defects," were "in its original package," and were "new, unused, and not of such age or so deteriorated as to impair its usefulness or safety," when in fact such parts were not purchased until after the contracts had been awarded by DLA. These parts were thereafter shipped to the Department of Defense, and were often either non-conforming or substandard.
An indictment is a charging instrument containing accusations. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
