Ohio auto parts maker to pay $3M in COVID fines
(The Center Square) – An Ohio auto parts manufacturer has agreed to pay more than $3 million in fines and restitution after admitting it lied to received loans and loan forgiveness under the federal government’s COVD-19 era Paycheck Protection Program. The company, Murotech Ohio Corp., makes auto parts primarily in St. Marys. It is a subsidiary of a Japanese company, Muro Corp., prosecutors said. Under the settlement, the company has admitted that it “knowingly provided false information to obtain Paycheck Protection Program loans and loan forgiveness,” prosecutors said. Murotech agreed to pay more than $1 million in restitution. “Murotech Ohio’s first application submitted in May 2020 certified that the company had fewer than 500 employees, but in fact, it exceeded that amount when counting affiliates,” prosecutors said. “A second application submitted in January of 2021 certified that it employed fewer than 300 employees, but in truth, the company employed far more when including affiliates. Murotech Ohio then applied to have both federal loans forgiven and certified on its submitted applications that the number of employees was below program limit requirements. “ Authorities learned about the scheme from whistleblowers, according to a news release. The whistleblowers will each receive $151,980.75 under
