Some quotes: "Factual evidence exists for the fact that the suspects, who at the point in time relevant for the criminal complaint were CEOs or staff members of Elaman GmbH, FinFisher GmbH, or FinFisher Labs GmbH, have made themselves liable to prosecution because of deliberate violations against the obligation to obtain licences for dual-use software in accordance with section 18 para. 2 no. 1 and section 18 para. 5 no. 1 Foreign Trade and Payments Act (Außenwirtschafts- gesetz, AWG) by exporting the surveillance software FinSpy to Turkey during the period between October 2016 and July 2017 without having previously obtained the required licence from the [German] federal government." State malware: "FinSpy is highly developed spyware which, according to the company’s own description on its website, is sold exclusively to governments for the purposes of strategic intelligence and criminal prosecution," This is not an old case, it has been submitted only recently, as is clear from the date mentioned here: "The companies are neither so large nor is the number of potential FinSpy customers so high that it would suggest itself to decide about and carry out exports without the knowledge of the CEOs. The fact that the federal government, according to the information it gave on 19 June 2019, has not issued an export licence for intrusion software requiring a licence since January 2015 additionally either suggests that the export of such software is not routine business, which would support all the more that the CEOs knew about it, or that numerous additional exports violating the export provisions have taken place in recent years, above and beyond the business deals with Turkey."
