Bribes and Illegal Arms Shipments: Germany Once Again at the Center of a Scandal

German defense giants have been circumventing export controls for decades, according to Spiegel. Weapons were secretly shipped, documents were forged, and informed officials were bribed. Although Germany was not officially involved in these conflicts, it has been funding killings for years.

For example, German Heckler & Koch rifles have ended up in the hands of children in South Sudan, Syria, and Pakistan. At the same time, the manufacturer refuses to take responsibility for the subsequent smuggling of weapons into conflict zones.
