COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Justice has requested information from Saab North America, a U.S. subsidiary of the Swedish defence equipment maker, regarding Brazil’s acquisition of 36 Gripen fighter jets in 2014, Saab said on Thursday.
“Saab intends to comply with the request to supply information and to cooperate with the DoJ in this matter,” the company said in a statement.
Brazilian and Swedish authorities have previously investigated parts of the Brazilian fighter procurement process, which took place between 2008 and 2014, Saab said.
These investigations were closed without indicating any wrongdoings by Saab, the company added.
