Saudi Arabia arms-export controversy
Reports alleged that Hensoldt continued supplying defense-related equipment to Saudi Arabia despite Germany’s 2018 arms-export restrictions imposed after the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. The reports described supplies through subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France, and South Africa, as well as subcontracting arrangements involving Spanish and French manufacturers. They also discussed a proposed relationship with Saudi Arabian Military Industries and radar requirements associated with Saudi Arabia’s border with Yemen.
