German Police Officers Secretly Trained Libyan Forces

Der Spiegel - Disciplinary proceedings have been instigated against all eight officers, who went to Libya in their free time without the knowledge of their superiors.
the officers have already been transferred from elite SWAT-style units to normal police duties.
According to the media reports, former officers of the elite anti-terrorism GSG-9 police force had founded a private security company and hired police officers from the German equivalent of SWAT units on a freelance basis. The special police forces officers reportedly went to Libya in 2006 and trained security forces on behalf of the private security company. The officers were paid up to €15,000 for their efforts.
