Weapons-stockpiling allegations and detention of employees
Donald Vance alleged that he suspected illegal gun running after seeing extensive weapons stockpiles at the company. After he became an FBI informant, American soldiers raided the premises and arrested Vance and Nathan Ertel. Both alleged torture during interrogation; Vance was held for 97 days and Ertel for about one month. The available account states that the company's executives were never charged with wrongdoing.
