Smartmatic facing Money Laundering chages

Smartmatic Voting Company Implicated in Massive Scandal, DOJ Steps In

Voting tech company ‘Smartmatic’ has just come under fire, as new details have emerged on a huge controversy. The company is now facing money laundering charges from the Department of Justice (DOJ) against four executives. Now, former Filipino election official Andres Bautista has been accused of being involved in a bribery scheme with Smartmatic.

These individuals are accused of transferring $4 million to former Filipino election official Andres Bautista “in violation of US money laundering laws.”

It is reported that Bautista was given $199 million in contracts for almost 100,000 voting machines and tabulation services for Philippine Presidential elections back in 2016.

According to the Justice Department filing, Smartmatic executives allegedly used "slush funds," "fake contracts," and fake email accounts to take in bribes under the code word "salsa."

This drama only intensifies when Fox News and other associates were sued by Smartmatic itself over such accusations made against them during the aftermath of the 2020 presidential race.

And Smartmatic has sued everyone: Newsmax, Fox News, OAN, several individual Fox hosts, former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, and others.
