The Noricum scandal or the Noricum affair is the collective term for illegal arms shipments of the Austrian VÖEST subsidiary Noricum, which were later investigated by the judiciary and a parliamentary committee of inquiry in the early 1980s. The recipients of the GHN-45 artillery guns were the two warring parties of the First Gulf War, the states of Iraq and Iran.[1]
