Inkampani ye-aerospace yaseYurophu kunye nokhuselo Airbus uye wagxotha abasebenzi abali-16 kwicandelo elijongene neeprojekthi zomkhosi waseJamani, kuquka nomphathi wesebe, ngaphandle kwesaziso, emva kokuba kutyhilwe ukuba barhanelwa ukubandakanyeka kubuntlola kwimizi-mveliso.
Bonke abasebenzi abagxothiweyo barhanelwa ngokuhlola iimfihlo zenkampani kunye nokufumana ngokungekho mthethweni amaxwebhu ayimfihlo kwiiprojekthi zexesha elizayo zoMkhosi waseJamani (Bundeswehr).
I-Airbus ngomnye wababoneleli abakhulu boMkhosi waseJamani; ihlala iphumelela iikhontrakthi zokubonelela i-Bundeswehr ngeenqwelomoya ezintsha kunye neenqwelo-moya, kunye nokubuyisela izixhobo ezikhoyo.
Inkampani yaqala yalumkisa abasemagunyeni eJamani malunga "nezitenxo" ezithile ekuphatheni kwayo ulwazi olubuthathaka ngoSeptemba. Ngelo xesha, iOfisi yoMtshutshisi waseMunich nayo yavula uphando lwayo kweli tyala, eyathi lisaqhuba.
Ityala, nangona kunjalo, lisusela ekwindla ka-2018, xa umqeshwa wabuza abaphathi bakhe kunye nesebe lezomthetho kunye nokuthotyelwa ukuba kufuneka abe nokufikelela kuxwebhu oluyimfihlo awayesandula ukulufumana. Okulandelayo yaba luhlolo olukhulu olubandakanya uphicotho lwamaxwebhu amalunga ne-1.5 yezigidi kunye nodliwano-ndlebe nabasebenzi.
Abanye abantu abangama-90 baqala ukurhanelwa ngokufumana ngokungekho mthethweni kunye namaxwebhu ayimfihlo, kubandakanya nedatha ethile kwiikontraka zomkhosi waseBundeswehr, njengalezo zikwiinkqubo zonxibelelwano zemikhosi. Ekugqibeleni, abasebenzi beNkqubo esekelwe eMunich yoNxibelelwano loNxibelelwano, ubuNgqondo kunye noKhuseleko (CIS) bagqiba ukukrokrelwa "ngokusebenzisa kakubi" kunye "nokuxhatshazwa" kwamanye amaxwebhu abathengi.

Akukacaci, nangona kunjalo, ukuba abarhanelwa bawafumene njani amaxwebhu achaziweyo kunye nokuba bafuna ukuwasebenzisa na ukuqinisa isicelo senkampani kwiikhontrakthi zexesha elizayo okanye bagqithisele amaxwebhu abawafumeneyo komnye umntu wesithathu. Ngelixa abatshutshisi baseMunich baye baqinisekisa iintatheli ukuba akukho maxwebhu "ayimfihlo" achaphazelekayo, kwaye i-Airbus yakhetha ukuthatha isenzo "esisebenzayo", eso siganeko sisenokubeka uxinzelelo kubudlelwane bayo neBerlin.
Amanye amaLungu ePalamente aseJamani, athe axelelwa ngalo mbandela nguMphathiswa wezoKhuselo ngoSeptemba, athi inkampani ayinakonwabela ukuthenjwa ngurhulumente waseJamani kwakhona.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- It remains unclear, however, how the suspects got the classified documents and whether they'd actually sought to use them to strengthen the company's bid on future contracts or pass on the documents they obtained to any third party.
- Bonke abasebenzi abagxothiweyo barhanelwa ngokuhlola iimfihlo zenkampani kunye nokufumana ngokungekho mthethweni amaxwebhu ayimfihlo kwiiprojekthi zexesha elizayo zoMkhosi waseJamani (Bundeswehr).
- The case, however, dates back to autumn 2018, when an employee asked his supervisors and the legal and compliance department whether he should have access to a classified document he had just received.
