路易斯安那州野生动物与渔业厅前厅长收回扣被判27个月监禁
美国路易斯安那州西区联邦检察官办公室2026年7月1日宣布，该州野生动物与渔业厅（LDWF）前厅长 Jack Montoucet 已于6月30日被判处27个月联邦监禁，罪名是共谋诈骗美国政府、索取并接受回扣以换取授予州政府合同。Montoucet 已于2026年3月31日认罪。
法庭文件显示，Montoucet 任厅长期间把一份 LDWF 合同导向 DGL1, LLC 公司，换取该合同利润的三分之一，其余三分之二由两名同谋 Dusty Guidry 与 Leonard Franques 分得。2021年1月27日，他促成 LDWF 把一份提供在线猎人与船员教育课程的合同以无招标方式授予 DGL1；州行政部特别采购办公室提出质疑后，LDWF 改为公开招标，Montoucet 又利用职权让 DGL1 在招标中占得优势，最终中标。
2021年10月8日，Montoucet 以厅长身份与 DGL1 签约，明知自己将从中收取回扣。一个月后，他与 Franques、Guidry 商议如何掩盖款项，约定由 Franques 保管属于他的那一份，等他离开 LDWF 后以咨询工作的所谓「签约奖金」名义支付。
此案由美国国税局刑事调查局（IRS-CI）与联邦调查局（FBI）调查，路易斯安那州西区联邦检察官 Zachary A. Keller 宣布判刑结果。
Former Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Sentenced to 27 Months in Prison for Kickbacks
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Louisiana announced on July 1, 2026, that Jack Montoucet, the former Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF), was sentenced on June 30 to 27 months in federal prison for conspiring to defraud the United States by soliciting and accepting kickbacks in return for awarding a state contract. Montoucet had pleaded guilty on March 31, 2026.
According to court documents, while serving as Secretary, Montoucet steered an LDWF contract to a company called DGL1, LLC in exchange for one-third of the profit, with the other two-thirds divided between his two co-conspirators, Dusty Guidry and Leonard Franques. On January 27, 2021, he caused LDWF to award a no-bid contract to DGL1 to provide online hunter and boater education courses. After the Louisiana Division of Administration's Office of Special Procurement raised concerns about the no-bid award, LDWF put the contract out for public bids, and Montoucet used his position to ensure DGL1 had a competitive advantage; DGL1 won the contract.
On October 8, 2021, Montoucet signed the contract with DGL1 knowing he would receive kickbacks. A month later, he met with Franques and Guidry to discuss concealing the payouts, agreeing that Franques would hold Montoucet's portion until after he left LDWF and pay it to him as a purported signing bonus for consulting work.
