Former Capt. David Haas admitted to accepting lavish hotel stays, prostitutes, other perks in exchange for steering ships to Leonard Francis' ports
“You of all people should have known your relationship with Mr. Francis was wrong,” Sammartino told Haas, who retired as a captain. “Bottom line, you betrayed and hurt the Navy your fellow officers.”
Addressing the judge, Haas, 54, said he brought shame on his family and the Navy and tarnished his long, decorated career. Haas was a captain on the Blue Ridge, the 7th Fleet command ship from which Francis heavily recruited allies. As part of his plea agreement, Haas admitted to accepting bribes valued at nearly $91,000, including a multi-day party in Indonesia called “Cinderella Liberty” that included dinner, nightclub entertainment and the services of prostitutes. Another two-day party in Toyko reportedly cost $75,000.The case of “Fat Leonard” is the Navy’s worst corruption scandal in modern history.
At one point during the relationship from 2011 to 2013, Haas guided the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis to Malaysia to dock at one of Francis’ ports, according to the plea agreement. Francis billed the Navy $2.7 million for the stopover.
