The Multinational Logistics Services (MLS) scandal is being compared to that of the Fat Leonard scandal. Both involve a husbanding agent that has charged exorbitant fees to the United States Navy in exchange for port services for ships, with the Fat Leonard scandal centered around the United States Seventh Fleet and MLS around the United States Fifth Fleet. The CEO of MLS, Frank Rafaraci, is accused of defrauding the Navy out of "least $50 million by inflating invoices for ship services between 2011 and 2018"..
