Poland: Parts manufacturer under investigation for supplying parts used in Iranian drones

"Polish company under investigation for supplying parts used in Iranian killer drones"

The company sold tractor parts that investigators say may have been repurposed for drones.

A Polish state-owned company is being investigated for allegedly selling parts that were used to manufacture Iranian combat drones used by Russia to attack Ukraine and by Iran to attack Israel.

The scandal, involving parts manufacturer WSK Poznań, was first reported Thursday by private broadcaster Radio Zet.

Deputy Minister of State Assets Robert Kropiwnicki called the matter “extremely damaging” for Poland internationally. “It undermines our credibility. It’s scandalous that it has come to the point where on the one hand we are fighting to save Ukraine and on the other hand we were supplying parts to enemies.”

According to Radio Zet, Poland's Internal Security Agency (ABW) found that the Poznań-based company sold fuel pumps to Iranian motor manufacturer Motorsazan Company for use in tractors, but the parts ended up in Shahed 136 kamikaze drones. Iran has sold these drones to Russia for use in its war on Ukraine. [...]

WSK Poznań is owned by the Polish state's Industrial Development Agency. According to a company statement, the National Prosecutor's Office and the Internal Security Agency are “conducting an investigation into the export of parts manufactured by the company to Iran”.

“The company has introduced internal control procedures for potential customers ... Each time each potential contractor is thoroughly checked, the purpose of the ordered goods and then the sanctions in force at a given time are analyzed.”

According to the statement, the company's management is “making every effort to clarify the matter,” is fully open to cooperating with the authorities conducting the investigation and is taking the necessary actions to secure the company's future.
