Prosecutors raid Heckler & Koch's headquarters

BERLIN (AP) -- Prosecutors say the headquarters of Heckler & Koch GmbH is being searched amid allegations the German arms maker bribed Mexican officials to boost its sales.

Stuttgart prosecution spokeswoman Claudia Krauth said some 300 officers started searching the company's offices and several apartments early Thursday.


Prosecutors allege it "bribed officials in Mexico using cash payments for several years" in connection with arms deliveries between 2005 and 2010. Prosecutors are investigating whether German officials were also bribed.
A spokeswoman for Heckler & Koch confirmed the raid but declined to elaborate.

The company is already under investigation for allegedly providing its G36 assault rifle to Mexican police in states where Germany prohibits such exports over suspected human rights violations.
