Germany Arrests Suspect Connected to Missile Exports

German authorities have arrested the manager of a company suspected of violating export regulations by selling missile technology abroad, Reuters reported yesterday (see GSN, May 16).

The export chief of the same company was arrested last month, according to Reuters.

The firm sold vibration-testing equipment to unnamed countries since at least 2001-2002, prosecutors said.

Meanwhile, German authorities earlier this month halted the sale of aluminum plates for Iran’s rocket program, Focus magazine reported yesterday (Reuters, May 22).
