2 Facebook security staffers have been accused of taking part in a plot to obtain concealed weapon licenses with false info when they worked for a Facebook contractor

An indictment by the District Attorney for Santa Clara identifies two Facebook employees and alleges both took part in a conspiracy to obtain concealed weapons licenses with falsified paperwork and that one took part in a $90,000 bribery plot, all during a time when they were working at Facebook contractor AS Solution, though it does not charge the employees.

The two Facebook employees are accused of conspiring with the indicted defendants, but have not been indicted or otherwise formally charged. The Santa Clara DA says more charges are forthcoming.An indictment alleges that two Facebook security workers took part in a plan that was allegedly hatched two years ago to obtain licenses to carry concealed weapons to protect the social networking firm's leadership team. One was also alleged to have taken part in a $90,000 bribery plot.

The pair, like multiple other current and former AS Solution employees also identified in the indictment, were accused of conspiring with indicted defendants — but were not indicted. The Santa Clara District Attorney's Office told Business Insider that "more criminal charges are forthcoming" as the investigation continues, but did not comment on specific individuals.

The indictment alleges that in April 2018, gun parts manufacturer Michael Nichols set up a meeting between himself, AS Solution CEO Christian West, AS Solution employee Martin Nielsen, attorney Harpaul Nahal, and attorney Christopher Schumb. He texted Nahal in advance: "I need you to meet my buddy that runs the Facebook Executive protection team ... it's a potential $50K".

The indictment alleges that after the deal was arranged, Stromgren told executive protection agents filling out their CCW license applications "to list false employer names and positions and to use false Santa Clara County residence addresses if they did not reside in the county." The indictment also accuses Stromgren of falsifying his own CCW paperwork.
