“No foreign government or entity — including Venezuela — has ever held an ownership stake in Smartmatic, and we have voluntarily filed with CFIUS to put to rest the baseless but persistent rumors about our ownership,” Smartmatic CEO Antonio Mugica says in a public statement.
“As a company, we sought out a CFIUS review because we are confident it will clear the air so we can focus on what we do best — making the world’s most secure and auditable voting solutions,” says Mugica.
