“Ericsson promises investigation following payments to ISIS terrorists,” by Robert Besser, Malaysia Sun, February 16 2022:
After its CEO said it may have paid ISIS to gain access to the Iraqi market, shares in Swedish telecom giant Ericsson dropped sharply.
In an interview with the Dagens Industri newspaper, CEO Borje Ekholm said the company identified “unusual expenses dating back to 2018” when it purchased transport routes “through areas that have been controlled by terrorist organizations, including ISIS.”…
The company has not made a determination as to who was the “final recipient” of the money, Ekholm added….
Company employees who were operating in Iraq may have broken rules by “making a monetary donation without a clear beneficiary, funding inappropriate travel and expenses, and improper use of sales agents and consultants,” it added.
“The investigating team also identified payments to intermediaries and the use of alternate transport routes in connection with circumventing Iraqi Customs, at a time when terrorist organizations, including ISIS, controlled some transport routes,” it added.

Ericsson executives obviously didn’t realize the seriousness of giving money to a terrorist organization. PEOPLE DIED AS A RESULT OF SUCH PAYMENTS.
Ericsson has blood on its hands.

A great example of the corporate top dogs in their ivory kennels not having a clue what the organisation is really up to, just so long as the dollars keep flowing.
When the truth is leaked and share prices crash, then and only then, does this become a problem.
Till then,,,,,,,,,
