How a Swedish telecom giant's alleged payments to terrorist organizations, systematic bribery spanning 17 years, and control over U.S. 911 emergency infrastructure created a crisis hiding in plain sight.
The Ericsson Report: A Matter of National Security exposes Ericsson's deep involvement in corruption, bribery, and direct dealings with terrorist organizations over a period spanning nearly two decades.
It reveals how the Swedish telecom giant allegedly funneled payments to the Islamic State and engaged in fraudulent activities across multiple countries — while simultaneously expanding control over critical U.S. telecommunications infrastructure.
The report demands urgent public awareness, highlighting the severe national security risks posed by foreign corporate control over the 911 emergency call routing system.
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 — 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.
