The U.S. Justice Department announced it will proceed to trial against two former executives of Smartmatic Corp., a voting machine producer, in connection with an alleged bribery and money laundering scheme related to a business bid in the Philippines. This decision follows a court filing indicating that the corruption case against the executives has cleared a government review, despite a previous enforcement pause under a Trump order regarding the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The case against Smartmatic executives has gained attention, particularly as the company faced scrutiny from conspiracy theorists during the 2020 election.
