F. Export control
40. The Special Rapporteur learnt with concern that, according to media and NGO reports that surveillance software at least partially developed in Germany by Finfisher GmbH, had been used to commit human rights violations in several countries, including Bahrain, Egypt and Turkey.
41. When asked, the German Government stated that Germany had not granted any export licences to Finfisher. A license to export its software, would have been required by the law in order for the company to be able to export its products to governments outside of the EU, or to another EU country with the intent of exporting it to a third country.
42. In November 2018, the German Government did not reveal whether law enforcement/judicial authorities are carrying out any investigations of the allegations, or whether it intends to prosecute the company for violation of export regulations. The Special Rapporteur notes however that in October 2020 the German Customs Investigation Bureau (ZKA) searched 15 residential and business premises in Germany and abroad with connections to the Munich-based surveillance software firm FinFisher.
