Citing court and federal records, the daily reports that Kenneth “Ken” Flores and his father, Antonio “Tony” Flores Jr. — both former Rey Feos — along with one of the younger Flores’ brothers paid $54,000 in bribes to a pair of civilian military employees to keep a multimillion-dollar contract to clean Army hospitals.

The men, who are tied to a San Antonio-based company called Allegiance Environmental Services, are also accused of using the arrangement to win new government work valued at more than $80 million, according to records obtained by the Express-News.
