When the State of Michigan awarded a contract to the Upper Peninsula Shipbuilding Co. to replace the ageing car ferries, Maritime Unions, vessel operators and shipbuilders made false allegations of bribery and theft of opportunity that generated three grand jury investigations. After the Estate of UPSCO sued the State of Michigan for $63,900,000, a fourth grand jury brought 11 specious counts for mail, wire, tax and conspiracy fraud that resulted in Robert Fischl's conviction on 6 counts. Nine appeals filed by Fischl and his co-defendant, none of which resulted in acquittal, have generated exculpatory evidence that proves that no taxes were owed, no mail fraud was committed, and cancelled checks did not constitute stolen securities. Perjured testimony suborned by the government placed Fischl in his office while a travel report held by the grand jury recorded his meetings with banks that was withheld by the prosecutor at trial. In 2020, the travel report was misrepresented by yet another prosecutor to allege Fischl had returned to his office despite two affidavits from participants in a phone conversation that failed to corroborate the suborned perjury. A complaint in the hands of the Executive Office of US Attorneys is being investigated.
