Lead #3Who were the U.S.-based subjects that facilitated the technology exports and have they been prosecuted?
Yury Yevgenyevich Savin, a Russian national, was indicted in September 2012 for his involvement in an international scheme to illegally export controlled dual-use technology from U.S. companies to Russia between 2008 and 2012. Working with co-conspirator Sergey Klinov and domestic subjects, Savin allegedly received restricted technology and disguised payments through third countries to conceal the Russian military and intelligence agencies as the ultimate end users. Savin remains a fugitive with known travel to Thailand and Greece, and his apprehension would help disrupt ongoing export control violations and foreign intelligence procurement networks.
