Gregory Rehberg, a business owner from Norcross, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud for defrauding the U.S. Postal Service by submitting false invoices. Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr. stated, "Rehberg concealed the use of subcontractors, made false statements, and provided false documents to overcharge the U.S. Postal Service for maintenance work he never performed." He emphasized the commitment of his office to prosecute those who exploit government contracts for personal gain.
Kenneth Cleevely, Executive Special Agent in Charge of the USPS Office of Inspector General (OIG), praised the investigation's success and highlighted ongoing efforts to investigate fraudulent activities against the Postal Service. "We are pleased to have contributed to this investigation and applaud the exceptional work by the United States Attorney’s Office for protecting both U.S. Postal Service funds and the integrity of our repairs and maintenance program," Cleevely said.
Rehberg's company, GLR Group LLC., was contracted by EMCOR Facilities Services, Inc. for repair and construction work at various U.S. Postal Service locations across several states including Georgia and Florida. However, Rehberg submitted nearly 900 inflated invoices between 2019 and 2024, marking up prices by as much as forty percent at times. This resulted in approximately $2.9 million in payments with overbilling exceeding $730,000.
Sentencing is set for May 15, 2025, before Chief United States District Judge Timothy C. Batten, Sr., where Rehberg will face judgment for his actions.
The case is being investigated by the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General with Assistant United States Attorney Natasha Cooper prosecuting.
