Guam - Former CHB International operations manager Cynthia Castro is expected to plead guilty to wire fraud in the District Court of Guam this week. DeCastro was indicted and accused of misusing federal money for a contract the company received to install emergency generators at several public schools.

According to a recently signed plea agreement, DeCastro admits that she devised a scheme to defraud the Government of Guam by obtaining money and purchasing generators from China that did not meet USEPA standards.  She also allegedly gave bribes to two Department of Public Works employees in hopes to have the CHB invoices processed and paid.  

DeCastro is scheduled to formally change her plea on Tuesday.  The maximum sentence for wire fraud is 20 years behind bars and a $250,000.
