Snapshot: In 2012, two NGOs filed a criminal complaint in Paris, asking it to investigate the involvement of Qosmos, a French software components company, in supplying surveillance equipment to the Bashar El-Assad government in Syria. The French authorities opened an investigation into the company's activities. The case was dismissed in December 2020.

On 25 July 2012, International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and Ligue des droits de l’Homme (LDH) filed a criminal complaint before a Paris court, urging it to investigate the involvement of French companies in supplying surveillance equipment to the Bashar El-Assad government in Syria.  The complaint named Qosmos, a French software components company, in particular alleging that it is complicit in human rights abuses, including torture, by the Syrian Government by providing it with surveillance equipment.  The complaint alleges the surveillance equipment allowed the government to monitor, target, arrest and torture dissidents and was used to suppress the government’s opposition. 

On 26 July 2012, French authorities opened an investigation into Qosmos’ activities.  Qosmos denies all allegations and filed a defamation complaint against both human rights groups.  The company asserts it has never entered into a contractual agreement with the Syrian Government with respect to the sale of any of its products and that its activities comply with all applicable laws. 

On 17 April 2015, the investigating judge declared Qosmos an "assisted witness".

On 31 December 2020, the judge dismissed the case because there was not enough evidence to establish a causal link between the defective surveillance equipment and the acts of torture and crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Syrian regime.
