Why this label

The March 2023 DOJ release records the one-year extension of the monitor first imposed under the 2019 DPAS1. The DOJ case page sets probation through June 2024, which fits the extended termS5. Ericsson announced on 3 June 2024 the conclusion of the monitor's work and term, and said the monitor certified to DOJ on 28 March 2024 that its anti-corruption programme satisfied requirementsS3. A description of Ericsson as still under a DOJ monitor reflects the earlier position. The end of the monitorship itself is stated by the company. No DOJ record of the end was found. Ericsson said in March 2026 that it continued to cooperate with a DOJ investigationS6.

Current procedural position

Monitorship concluded per Ericsson on 3 June 2024S3.
