Takeover fears, not stifling journalists, sent Heckler & Koch to military intelligence

Heckler und Koch G36 GewehrHeckler & Koch (HK) used a Defense Ministry go-between to ask Germany's counterintelligence service, MAD, to look into negative press coverage in 2013, the company announced. HK higher-ups reportedly wanted to know who was responsible for negative press coverage amid worries of a hostile takeover. MAD reportedly refused the requests. The Sunday edition of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has reported that in the summer of 2013 HK officials had become suspicious that a group of intelligence officers and foreign investors aimed to take over the company.
