Jerman Larang Eksport Senjata Merek Heckler & koch ke Meksiko
Associated Press
Germany bans Heckler & Koch arms exports to Mexico By JUERGEN BAETZ , 01.13.11, 10:52 AM EST BERLIN -- Germany's government has banned weapons manufacturer Heckler & Koch GmbH from any new arms deliveries to Mexico amid concerns they are ending in parts of the country where Berlin has forbidden weapons exports over human rights issues, according to a letter obtained Thursday by The Associated Press. The letter from the Economy Ministry to the arms manufacturer, dated Jan. 4, says the company's applications for exports of "weapons and other defense goods" to Mexico are suspended pending the outcome of judicial investigations in Germany. Heckler & Koch is under investigation by prosecutors for allegedly providing its G36 assault rifle to Mexican police in the states of Chiapas, Chihuahua, Guerrero and Jalisco, where Germany prohibits such exports over alleged human rights violations. The company, whose headquarters near Stuttgart were searched by prosecutors late last month, denies any wrongdoing. Rights groups like Amnesty International have accused Mexican government troops and police of abuses in the ongoing fight against drug traffickers. Germany's tight weapons export regulations allows arms deliveries to Mexico, outside of the four states where the human rights situation is in question. "The human rights situation in certain Mexican states must be viewed as widely differing," the Economy Ministry letter explained. "That also plays a role in their eligibility" to receive weapons shipments. Heckler & Koch maintains it did not deliver weapons to those four states, but only to the country's Mexico City-based central weapons purchasing authority, which is overseen by the Defense Ministry. "Heckler & Koch has at no point in time delivered to any Mexican states," the company said in a statement late December. A company spokeswomen, who declined to be identified in line with policy, said Thursday that exports to Mexico only amount to about 0.5 percent of the firm's revenue - which totaled euro235 million in 2009. An Economy Ministry spokesman, also speaking on condition of anonymity on departmental policy, confirmed the validity of the letter but would not comment further. The letter from the Economy Ministry, which oversees weapon exports, was prompted by a parliamentary inquiry of Germany's Left Party. It says the suspension of export applications is mandatory if there are "factual indications" that German export laws may have been violated. The letter did not specify what were those indications, but pointed to the fact that there was an open investigation, which prosecutors can only open in Germany when there is a high degree of suspicion that a law has been violated. "The consideration of current applications by Heckler & Koch for the export of weapons and other defense goods is suspended," Deputy Economy Minister Bernhard Heitzer said in the letter. Heckler & Koch's spokeswoman declined to elaborate on which applications for Mexico are currently pending. The prosecutors' investigation in Germany was prompted by a complaint brought forward by an anti-weapons-activist Juergen Graesslin in April, who claims to have been received a tip-off by a former Heckler & Koch employee. Graesslin maintains some 8,000 Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifles were delivered to Mexico's police forces and are now used across all states, including those excluded by Germany's export rules.
