Fraud Charges Against Construction Company Involve Hotel, Convention Center, Casino Projects

Projects Included the World Trade Center Towers, the Plaza Hotel Renovation, the Javits Convention Center Expansion and Renovation Project, and the Aqueduct Casino

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York filed fraud charges last week in Brooklyn federal court against Tishman Construction Corporation (“Tishman Construction”), one of the largest construction companies in New York City.

Tishman Construction is charged with mail and wire fraud conspiracy for improperly billing its clients more than $5 million over a ten-year period for hours not worked and at rates that were in excess of the agreed upon contract rate.
