Also indicted was a Kansas firearms distributor accused of paying more than $1 million in bribes to Glock executives.
The indictment alleges the distributor secretly paid Glock executives for preferential treatment over other firearms distributors, giving his company priority access to limited products and steering government contracts and sales to his company, according to the FBI.
The women, who formed companies, are alleged to have concealed payments of bribes and kickbacks in the scheme, which was said to have taken place from 2003 to 2009.
