Military Technology Licensing Scandal
Abteilung I. A relatively small Daumann sub-group named {DHC} on March 26th specifically contacted the [SMR] sub-group about a very large restricted military technology procurement, listed below:
5x 90-ARKM-N45 "Wraith" Rheinland Very Heavy Fighter
5x 19-ARKM-N82 "Mjolnir" Rheinland Super Heavy Fighter
5x 140-ARKM-N58 "Bergelmir" Rheinland Bomber
As well as the following equipment for the above ships:
R7-s "Firekiss" Rheinland Plasma Cannon
R7-n "Hornviper" Rheinland Tachyon Cannon
R4-n "Stealthblade" Rheinland Tachyon Cannon
This is not a typical order considering the size of the organization. However what makes it even more suspicious, was that a NCO from the [SMR] responded, and even though they are not authorized to process licensing requests and added even more assets into the order; x10 Sleipnirs, x1 Oder Gunboat and an unlimited amount of Rheinlang Military cannons for just 50 million SC.
We are currently investigating SMR to find all the personnel that have been bribed, starting with the NCO, Fähnrich Seidel.
Abteilung II. But this is not the only order. On mid January the {DHC} sub-group made a request directed specifically to Admiral Wittgenstein of the [RMK] bypassing all ranks that typically process those requests. Similarly with the previous case, and even though the [RMK] sub-group was not authorized to process licensing requests Wittgenstein gave x2 Oder Gunboats to this Daumann sub-group for the cost of 0 SC.
Unlike the [SMR] case we believe that no monetary bribe was involved in this case, instead Wittgenstein was rewarded with political favors instead.
Abteilung III. Subsequently, the Büro contacted {DHC} about this matter. Unfortunately however they found a loophole in the laws which forced us to negotiate a settlement. This legal loophole in the meantime has been closed by the legislature. However when Spezialagent von Rohe requested the exact ship names to be added in the registry they started to delay, demanding unrestricted access to RM weaponry and eventually before the time expired their legal counsel rejected her request instead demanding BDM to join one of their servers where they are going to keep said database.
We believe that this is because they intend to utilize more ships than they are allowed to. My recommendation to Direktor Enfield is to cancel the registration process, order the return of all loaned assets and then return the fees that were paid by {DHC}. That will allow the Spionageabwehr Abteilung to find out who and how many have bribed during this entire scandal.
If they create even more problems and legal obstacles I would recommend to release parts of this report to the public. We are talking about a scandal, after all.
