The case involves four executives from subsidiaries of Florida-based Smartmatic.
WASHINGTON: A voting machine company currently suing Fox News for defamation has been implicated in an alleged Philippine bribery scheme, CNN reported yesterday.
Bautista had awarded Smartmatic a US$199 million contract to supply the Philippines with 94,000 voting machines for the 2016 presidential election won by Rodrigo Duterte. According to the documents filed on Thursday, the Smartmatic executives used “slush funds” and “fake contracts” to facilitate alleged bribes and masked their actions with phony email accounts.
“But let me be very clear. I did not ask for nor receive any bribe money from Smartmatic or any other entity,” he said, adding that the 2016 presidential election in the Philippines was “hailed by various independent national and local election stakeholders as the best managed in our electoral history”.
