Frankfurt - Customs officials at Frankfurt airport have seized a consignment of military-related equipment destined for Iran, prosecutors said Friday. The batch of 218 switchboxes designed for use in ventilation systems was on its way from Moscow to the Iranian capital Tehran when customs officers swooped at the end of last year.
Media reports said the switchboxes were steel-clad, well insulated and vibration-proof - a type generally used in the construction of military bunkers.
They consignment was declared as civilian goods intended for a bank in Iran.
Prosecutors said they were investigating whether the equipment violated German export control laws.
