Pennsylvania's attorney general has filed bribery charges against a former purchasing agent at the state's student loan agency and a print shop owner.

Attorney General Tom Corbett says the two men were charged in an ongoing investigation into alleged bribery and bid manipulation for printing work and supplies at the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency.

Daniel Snyder of DRS Printing Services is accused of giving more than $30,000 in payments and other gifts to the loan agency's purchasing agent Kyle Andrew Becker. Corbett says Becker gave Snyder inside information about other competitors' bids in return
for the alleged bribes.

The loan agency's officials say Becker resigned in May 2007 as it conducted an internal investigation.
