The U.S. Attorney’s office in Boston says two men are being charged with illegal smuggling and conspiring to violate export controls by sending equipment to Russia's nuclear energy industry.
Two men have been charged with illegal smuggling and conspiring to violate export controls by selling equipment to Russia’s nuclear energy industry, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Boston said Monday.
“This case underscores our unwavering commitment to enforcing U.S. export laws and safeguarding national security,” Acting United States Attorney Joshua Levy said in a statement. “The defendants are alleged to have engaged in a sophisticated scheme to evade export controls, deceiving the government about the true destination of sensitive technology and putting critical national interests at risk.”
From 2015 to 2021, prosecutors alleged that Bhambhani and Teslenko conspired to export laser welding machines to the Ural Electromechanical Plant, or UEMZ, in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The export documents were allegedly falsified to conceal the fact that the equipment was going to UEMZ.
