What is drawing extra attention to this case is its connection to Vivek Kundra, the former chief technology officer for D.C. who last week was appointed by President Barack Obama to be the federal government's first official CIO.

There is nothing in the court documents from today's arraignment to indicate that Kundra had any knowledge of the alleged illegal activity that led to today's arrests. However, NBC News and other media outlets reported late today that Kundra is taking a leave from the federal CIO job until more is known about the FBI's investigation of his former organization.

Arrested this morning was Yusuf Acar, who currently is the District of Columbia's acting chief security officer; police said they found $70,000 in cash in his Washington home. Acar's annual salary is $127,468, according to court documents.

The second suspect arraigned on bribery charges is Sushil Bansal, CEO and founder of Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp. (AITC), a Washington-based outsourcing vendor that has won a number of contracts from the district's IT department. The court documents said that from March 2004 to February of this year, AITC did more than $13 million worth of business with the D.C. government.

Kundra was named CTO in D.C. in 2007. AITC received contracts before and after he was appointed to that job, including the extension of an IT security support deal that involved antivirus deployment and incident response services.
