The government claims that Leiweke, while in the midst of bidding in 2017 and 2018 to build the Moody Center at the University of Texas in Austin, entered into an agreement with another potential bidder for the rival to drop its independent proposal. Leiweke was to provide lucrative subcontracts in return, but the indictment claims that he and OVG reneged on that promise.
