MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Political consulting data firm Cambridge Analytica has filed for voluntary bankruptcy in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, according to official files published by the Inforuptcy online bankruptcy case listing outlet.

Earlier this week, the US Justice Department and FBI opened an investigation into Cambridge Analytica and the firm's financial dealings.

The company said earlier this month that it had filed for insolvency in the United Kingdom and would soon start parallel bankruptcy proceedings in the United States.
