Schmitz et al. v. Ericsson Inc. et al.

The lawsuit Schmitz et al. v. Ericsson Inc. et al. is a federal case filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that Ericsson and its executives provided financial and operational support to terrorist organizations, including Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq, and ISIS. The plaintiffs, who are victims and families of those killed in terrorist attacks, claim that Ericsson knowingly made protection payments to these groups and facilitated their operations by providing communications and logistical assistance. The case accuses Ericsson of violating the Anti-Terrorism Act by aiding and abetting acts of international terrorism that resulted in American casualties in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and beyond.
