Microsoft Investigated For Alleged Bribery and Corruption in Hungary

U.S. Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating Microsoft for possible bribery and corruption in its pursuit of software sales in Hungary, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

U.S. officials have authority to investigate payments to governments and officials in other countries by U.S. firms under the 1977 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The act prohibits bribery and allows prosecution for corruption, wherever it occurs.

A Microsoft spokesperson told Fortune that it became aware in 2014 of “potential wrongdoing” in its Hungarian subsidiary, and that the company quickly pursued an internal investigation. “We fired four employees and terminated our business with four partners, and we’ve been defending ourselves against legal claims they raised as a result,” the spokesperson said.

Lawsuits open window on shadowy network SOCom uses to arm Syrian rebels

U.S. Special Operations Command serves as a weapons purchasing agent for fellow MacDill tenant, U.S. Central Command. SOCom guides the work of the military’s commandos; CentCom oversees American military efforts in the Middle East — including support for the Syrian rebels.

At the center of the legal fallout over the RPG blast is Purple Shovel, a SOCom contractor based in Tampa that started in humanitarian aid transport and grew into a major military contractor.

Purple Shovel was the prime contractor on more than $50 million worth of orders for weapons and ammunition — one of several companies hired by SOCom to acquire nearly $700 million in arms for Syrian rebels since 2015.

Now, Purple Shovel is embroiled in a least three court actions — a wrongful death suit filed by victim Norwillo’s widow and by one of the men wounded in the blast, an attempt by a lender to recover $4 million owed by the company, and a request to reorganize through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
