ATLANTA, Ga. — Gregory Rehberg pleaded guilty today to wire fraud for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the U.S. Postal Service based on false invoices.
“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,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr. “Our office is committed to prosecuting those who defraud the United States and its agencies for their personal gain at the expense of taxpayers. We will continue to investigate and identify those who exploit government contracts and hold those bad actors accountable.”
“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,” said Executive Special Agent in Charge Kenneth Cleevely of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), Office of Inspector General (OIG). “Special Agents of the USPS OIG will continue to aggressively investigate those who would engage in fraudulent activities designed to defraud the Postal Service.”
According to Acting U.S. Attorney Moultrie, the charges, and other information presented in court: GLR Group LLC., operated by Gregory Rehberg, was contracted by EMCOR Facilities Services, Inc. to work on repairs and construction work at U.S. Postal Service locations in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Rehberg submitted false invoices to EMCOR for supposed services he had performed, when in fact, he subcontracted the work for lower rates than reported on the invoices he submitted.
Rehberg routinely marked up the price on his invoices, at times as much as forty percent. In total, Rehberg submitted nearly 900 invoices on behalf of GLR to EMCOR between 2019 and 2024, receiving approximately $2.9 million in payments, and overbilling by more than $730,000.
Sentencing for Gregory Rehberg, 55, of Atlanta, Georgia, is scheduled for May 15, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. before Chief United States District Judge Timothy C. Batten, Sr.
This case is being investigated by the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General.
Assistant United States Attorney Natasha Cooper is prosecuting the case.
