Lead #3How did Savin and Klinov maintain communication with U.S. subjects and coordinate fund transfers through third countries?
Yury Yevgenyevich Savin, a Russian national, was indicted in September 2012 for conspiring to illegally export controlled dual-use technology from U.S. companies to Russia between 2008 and 2012, with proceeds disguised through third countries. Working with co-conspirator Sergey Klinov and subjects in the U.S., Savin allegedly facilitated the diversion of sensitive technology to Russian military and intelligence end-users in violation of export control laws. Savin remains a fugitive with known travel patterns to Thailand and Greece, making his apprehension critical to disrupting ongoing proliferation networks.
