No need to look into any closet. Supporting dictators to oppress the opposition, corruption all over the world, just what you'd expect from an arms manufacturer. Civil aviation seems to be clean, though, and those skeletons aren't tech-related. Airlines are currently whinging about the prices Airbus demands for new planes but what do you expect, their order books are overflowing and where else are you going to go, Boeing?
Its funny because their backlog is for the next 13 years, they could easily have the EU give them money to fix it and nobody would complain.
