A Stockholm court has dropped criminal bribery charges filed against three executives of Swedish telecom Telia Co., including its former general counsel for Eurasia.

Ex-general counsel Olli Tuohimaa, along with the former CEO and the former deputy chief, were accused in 2017 of paying bribes to obtain telecom business in Uzbekistan. The charges were dropped Feb. 15. All three had denied the charges, and could not be reached for comment on the ruling.
