The Corrupt Indict Corruption?

ARMS/BRIBERY (URGENT)
WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities accused 22 people, including an executive for Smith & Wesson, with violating federal bribery laws involving the sale of various arms, according to indictments unsealed on Tuesday.

The indictments charged the individuals, including Smith & Wesson vice president for sales Amaro Goncalves, with violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and conspiracy to commit money laundering involving the sale of items including guns and body armor, among other things.

The indictments, filed in December, were unsealed by a U.S. judge on Tuesday.

The individuals were arrested on Monday, according to court documents.
