Ex-UMBC construction chief guilty in bribes case
A former manager of construction services at University of Maryland, Baltimore County has pleaded guilty to soliciting bribes from contractors and vendors doing business with the school, the Maryland attorney general's office said. George Flores Alinsod, 58, of the first block of Upman Court in Catonsville, pleaded guilty this week in Baltimore County Circuit Court to soliciting bribes, procurement fraud, perjury, obstruction of justice and theft, officials said. From 1999 to 2004, he steered projects to favored contractors and suppliers and allowed them to inflate their bills, costing the state more than $200,000, according to the attorney general's office. Alinsod is the eighth person convicted in the state's investigation of UMBC contracts, officials said. Sentencing is Feb. 23.
