Mexico: German gunmaker Heckler & Koch allegedly supplied guns to conflict regions in Mexico used by police to kill protestors

Reports state that German arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch exported guns to Mexico, allegedly also to regions where it was not allowed to do so, breaching German export regulations. In December 2014, investigators found the company's weapons being used by the local police force to kill several protesters in September of the same year. The guns might also have been used against 43 students missing since September and thought to have been murdered.

In December 2014 Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Heckler & Koch to respond to the concerns raised in the reports below; the response is provided.

On Tuesday 30 March 2021, Germany's Federal Court of Justice found that Heckler & Koch employees knowingly falsified information regarding the nature and destination of arms sold to attain federal export licenses, upholding a 2019 ruling by the District Court of Stuttgart which ordered the confiscation of €3.7 million in revenues tied to the sales.

Information in German is available here.
