A retired four-star Navy admiral was found guilty of a bribery scheme Monday following a three-day jury deliberation in Washington, D.C.

Adm. Robert P. Burke, a former vice chief of naval operations who more recently served as the commander of naval forces in Europe and Africa before retiring in 2022, was convicted of bribery, conspiracy to commit bribery, and performing acts affecting a personal financial interest and concealing material facts.

He has become the senior-most member of the United States military to ever be convicted of committing a federal crime while on active duty, according to The Washington Post. He was initially, arrested in May 2024.
