Illegal arms and munition transports
In 2015, the Serbian newspaper
Večernje novosti reported about Ramstein Air Base being used by the United States Armed Forces to transport arms and munitions to
Syria.
[20] At the end of 2017, an anonymous US official stated that the US does indeed use Ramstein Air Base to supplement Syrian rebels with arms and munition.
[20] The
Cabinet of Germany stated that it did not grant the necessary permits for these transports, nor that it had been informed about them.
[21] The public prosecutor's office of Kaiserslautern is currently auditing whether an official investigation should be launched.
[22] However, such investigations are complicated by the fact that despite Ramstein Air Base being located
on German territory, German officials and politicians are not allowed to enter the base without permission of the US commander.[21][22] Previous investigations of the Ramstein Air Base, such as the
Abu Omar case, have proven to be unsuccessful as of yet.
[22] Should the investigation about the arms and munition transports be successful, it would constitute a violation of the
German War Weapons Control Act.
