In addition to Mr Jackson, Blackwater’s former general counsel Andrew Howell, former executive vice-president Bill Mathews, former procurement vice-president Ana Bundy, and former weapons manager Ronald Slezak were indicted on Friday.
They are charged with using “straw purchases” to stockpile automatic weapons at the company’s headquarters in Moyock, North Carolina, and filing false documents to cover up gifts given to the king of Jordan.
