fbi raids carahsoft, This morning, a search warrant was executed at the Reston, Virginia, headquarters of Carahsoft Technology Corp.
by the FBI and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service.
Law enforcement officials shut down the building and took laptops and document boxes out, according to multiple sources.
A source claimed that when they attempted to enter the facility this morning at around ten in the morning, FBI agents turned them away at the front door.
According to a different source, Carahsoft staff members were warned not to bring anything from the building and were sent home.
Furthermore, according to two sources, DCIS and the FBI fulfilled one civil and two criminal subpoenas. According to one of the individuals, the Justice Department is currently pursuing a False Claims Act case, and this is connected to one of the subpoenas.
A spokesperson for Carahsoft said, “Department of Justice representatives visited our office today as they are conducting an investigation into a company with which Carahsoft has done business in the past.” “Carahsoft is assisting with this situation in full. We are going about our business as normal.
An FBI representative for the Maryland district declined to provide a statement.
“We are able to certify that this morning on Sunset Hills Road, the FBI carried out law enforcement operations approved by the court. An FBI Washington field office representative sent out an email that stated, “We decline to comment further.”
Why the warrant was served at the company’s headquarters by the FBI and DCIS is unknown. The spokesperson for Carahsoft stated that the law enforcement action had nothing to do with an ongoing investigation under the False Claims Act, but she would not elaborate.
