VEY – Early morning diners yesterday Thursday at the Suromaaki House of Noodles located in the Vey VIII FedMart station were surprised as black clad officers of the Federal Police supported by Federal Customs surrounded the restaurant and executed a search warrant related to the activities of the terrorist group, the Zefil-Keram Compact.
Federal Police allege that the Suromaaki House of Noodles restaurant was being used as part of a smuggling front used by Kaalakiota Corporation to supply the Zefil-Keram Compact with armaments and supplies in their campaigns of violence within the Federation.
Federal Police released images on social media of contraband claimed to have been seized at the noodle restaurant including what are said to be rail rifles and body armour manufactured by Kaalakiota Corporation’s ‘Stahl’ product line.
Federal Police elaborated on the scope of the smuggling operation that lead to Thursday’s seizure:
“On Thursday May 4th Federal Police in collaboration with Federal Customs confiscated armaments, ammunition and other supplies we strongly believe were to be used by the terrorist group the Zefil-Keram Compact in attacks within the Federation.
Among those items confiscated were a large quantity of ‘Stahl’ issue weaponry and protective equipment manufactured by Kaalakiota Corporation and it is our belief were supplied directly by that company.
These weapons were smuggled hidden inside shipments of Matigu cod purchased from a Sukuuvestaa Corporation subsidiary and were last flagged aboard a Quafe Company freighter that docked in the Vey VIII FedMart station last week on Saturday the 29th.
In addition it is the belief that the target of today’s raid, the Suromaaki House of Noodles was the meeting point for handlers with a Kaalakiota spy ring currently active in the Viriette constellation and the Zefil-Keram Compact.
The Garoun Enquirer reached out to Kaalakiota Corporation regarding the allegations by the Federal Police and received this statement from the Nausschie branch of the Kaalakiota public affairs office.
“The allegations of Kaalakiota Corporation involvement with terrorist organisations is nothing more than a transparent attempt by Federal intelligence to tarnish the reputation of our proud company with lurid and baseless allegations with no substantiation in fact.
That Kaalakiota products are alleged to have been found in a Federal intelligence dirty tricks operation should be no surprise. Our Stahl line of weapons and accessories continue Kaalakiota’s legacy of outstanding Caldari engineering and reliability that make them favoured by customers when they are sold freely on the civilian market.
The idea that such weapons were supplied directly by the company to terrorist groups in the Federation is both absurd and baseless and one that Kaalakiota strongly repudiates with vehemence.”
