COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - A former Army and Air Force Exchange Service official has admitted taking part in a bribery plot involving a $206 million contract for telecommunications service to U.S. military installations in South Korea.

Officials say 42-year-old Henry Lee Holloway of Hamilton, Ga., a manager at the Central Exchange in Korea from 2003-2007, pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy and filing a false tax return.

The Justice Department says Holloway took at least $70,000 in stock offerings, entertainment, travel, cash and other benefits from Gi-Hwan Jeong, chief executive of Samsung Rental Co., to help maintain the company's contract.

Holloway faces up to eight years in prison and fines totalling $350,000. Jeong's trial starts June 1 in Texas.
