!!!Noricum-Skandal

Noricum Scandal: In 1985 it became common knowledge that the VOEST 
subsidiary Noricum had illegally shipped weapons to Iran; as a result 
a parliamentary committee of inquiry was set up and the Minister of 
the Interior, Karl Blecha, had to resign. The responsible Noricum 
managers were convicted of endangering Austrian neutrality, the 
politicians in charge (Federal Chancellor F. Sinowatz, Foreign 
Minister L. Gratz, Minister of the Interior K. Blecha) were acquitted.
