FORMER SCHOFIELD BARRACKS ARMY CAPTAIN INDICTED
HONOLULU, HAWAII – DAVID SILIVANO GILLIAM, age 39, appeared in federal district court this afternoon and entered a plea of not guilty to a six-count indictment returned on February 11, 2009. GILLIAM, a former Captain in the United States Army, is charged with theft of government property, bulk cash smuggling, interstate and foreign transportation of stolen money, money laundering, and making false statements to federal officers.
The charges stem from his theft of approximately $400,000 in United States currency while acting as a Disbursing Officer for the Army Alpha Detachment, 125th Finance Battalion out of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
Edward H. Kubo, Jr., the United States Attorney for the District of Hawaii, said according to the indictment, GILLIAM committed the theft of funds while stationed at Kandahar Air Base in Afghanistan. He smuggled the funds from Afghanistan to Hawaii, where he used the stolen money to engage in a number of financial transactions. GILLIAM subsequently relocated to South Carolina, taking the stolen funds with him and continuing to spend the proceeds.
According to the indictment, GILLIAM made materially false statements regarding the source of cash he had used to purchase a cashier's check in the amount of $254,000. He claimed the cash came from a dating service he had operated while stationed with the Army at Fort Clay in Panama.
Trial is set for May 12, 2009. GILLIAM faces a maximum sentence of ten years imprisonment for the theft, transportation of stolen funds, and money laundering charges, and a maximum term of imprisonment of five years for the bulk cash smuggling and false statements charges.
The case resulted from a joint investigation by the IRS - Criminal Investigation Division, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the United States Army Criminal Investigation Division Command, and the Department of Homeland Security – Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney Clare Connors.
