Captain Daniel Dusek |
Rear Admiral Hugh Wetherald, Commander Expeditionary Strike Group SEVEN, fired the Commanding Officer, USS BONHOMME RICHARD, Captain Daniel Dusek on 2 October 2013 as part of an investigation into a bribery scandal involving prostitutes and luxury travel.
RADM Wetherald cited a "loss of confidence in Dusek’s ability to command" in relieving him of his duties. Captain Dusek, who has not been charged with a crime yet, is under investigation by the Justice Department in the alleged bribery scandal, which broke last month and appears to be expanding.
The investigation has focused on an alleged scheme to swap classified ship information for luxury travel and prostitutes, and has led to the arrests of a former commanding officer of the USS Mustin, an NCIS agent and the head of Singapore-based defense contractor Glenn Defense Marine Asia, which has been providing support services for more than 25 years.
“After careful consideration, RADM Wetherald determined the investigation negatively affected Dusek’s leadership ability and was a distraction to the command mission.”

He was a decent man caught up in indecent activities. A sad story to be sure.
ReplyDeleteHe was an indecent man caught up in illegal activities. In the world we live in, one "aw $hi7" wipes out 1000 attaboys. He likely has always had questionable morals and judgement issues....it's a shame it took so long to find out about them. He probably was a decent person a long time ago but somewhere along the road of life, he started transiting down the slippery slope and never came back.
ReplyDeleteSeems the process of selecting officers for command remains under scrutiny. Really would love to see a list of who the members were of the boards selecting the perp for their last promotion and their command tours - it would be very illuminating.
