Why are German researchers studying Allied bombing runs from WW2?
Why take him down now?
As detailed in his plea agreement, between 2004 and 2017, and without the knowledge or approval of NARA, Luchansky was paid $27,510 by a second company—this one in Maryland—to research NARA cartographic holdings and obtain rolls of NARA’s aerial film. Luchansky provided the Maryland company with invoices for his work, even though as a NARA employee he was supposed to provide those services to the public for free. Luchansky admitted that he deposited the payments from the Maryland company into his bank account.
United States Attorney Robert K. Hur commended the NARA Office of Inspector General for its work in the investigation. Mr. Hur thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Leah B. Grossi and Thomas M. Sullivan, who prosecuted the federal case.
