U.S. firm investigated for selling Chinese munitions(Warning - CNN website)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A company accused of supplying corroded and decades-old Chinese ammunition to the Afghan Army and police has been suspended by the U.S. government for violating its contract, according to U.S. Army documents obtained by CNN.

Miami Beach, Florida-based AEY Inc. is under criminal investigation by the government for allegedly misrepresenting what the company was providing the Afghan security forces.

Under the contract, AEY said it would supply ammunition manufactured in Hungary. But an investigation by the Army found most of the bullets were made in China, a violation of the contract, according to the documents.

U.S. regulations bar companies from purchasing weapons or ammunition from a Chinese military company directly or indirectly, according to U.S. military officials.

All I can say is that the pigs are now at the trough.
