The court still needs to issue a verdict with sentences that spell out precise penalties, but the settlement agreement likely makes the procedure a formality, court spokeswoman Rebekka Kleine told The Associated Press. Prosecutors said most of the SP 2022 pistols were subsequently forwarded to Colombia, in breach of an export license Sig Sauer had received from German authorities.

The court also ordered the confiscation of proceeds from the sales totaling some 3.7 million euros ($4.2 million).
