FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A former Broward Health purchasing director was in federal court Friday and stands accused of giving lucrative government contracts to vendors in exchange for bribes, prosecutors say. Brian Bravo, 46, is also accused of directing bribe money to various bank accounts in an attempt to conceal the crimes. Bravo, of Pembroke Pines, worked as the hospital system’s corporate procurement officer and director of materials management for about a decade. From 2008-2015, investigators say Bravo “engaged in a kickback scheme with vendors that provided products and services to Broward Health, including health care products, linens, compression sleeves, and printer repairs. Authorities say the case was investigated by the FBI’s Miami office and it is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey N. Kaplan.
