Hours before @Ericsson general meeting today, here's a timeline of how the CEO and board landed in hot water.

Feb. 7: ICIJ & partners sent detailed questions to Ericsson about corruption in Iraq, including the company’s alleged dealings with ISIS from 2014-2016. #EricssonList
Feb. 8: Instead of answering ICIJ, Ericsson issued a statement about receiving the questions: "media will focus on the conduct of business in unstable regions where terrorist organizations and corruption are present and employees’ safety may be at risk.”

It’s been just a few days since ICIJ and 30 media partners published the #EricssonList investigation — exposing Ericsson’s ISIS dealings and a corruption spree in Iraq — but the telecom giant has seen a whirlwind of repercussions since. bit.ly/3vvuEri

CEO Börje Ekholm said the #EricssonList was “hugely embarrassing” and defended the firm's steps to improve compliance. bit.ly/3szZ5uJ
The #EricssonList investigation has also had an immediate impact on the telecom giant’s share value.

Its stock price has fallen by more than a third since the company first disclosed it had received media inquiries about its Iraq operations last month. bit.ly/3Cf5Ipn

Leaked #EricssonList records reveal much more. bit.ly/3hleQiy
The corrupt conduct uncovered in the #EricssonList stems from a 2014 decision to continue operations in Iraq after ISIS fighters brutally took control of parts of the country.
