The DDTC settled with BAE Systems, Inc. for a civil penalty of USD 36 million. The allegations concerned unauthorised exports and retransfers of defence articles to several countries, in one case to the People's Republic of China, the unauthorised furnishing of defence services and breaches of authorisation provisos. USD 18 million is suspended for approved compliance measures and USD 18 million is payable in three instalments; the agreement requires, among other things, an external compliance audit. The authority allegedly made the findings set out here; this account is not based on a final judgment.

What organisations can take from it

Retransfers by recipients must be controlled contractually and organisationally just as strictly as one's own exports.
