STOCKHOLM, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Ericsson (ERICb.ST) informed the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) about an internal investigation into payments in Iraq when it signed a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) in 2019 to settle resolve separate corruption probes, sources familiar with the matter said.
The Swedish company's shares fell 14% on Wednesday over concerns that the company might be subject to another fine by the DoJ.
