The former head of the Texas company recognized himself as a Russian agent

“The former owner and CEO of a Houston electronics company admitted Wednesday that he was a Russian agent and illegally exported strategic microelectronics to Russia from Texas, two weeks before he is scheduled to appear in federal court in Brooklyn.” – writes The Wall Street Journal.

The prosecution blamed Alexander Fischenko, a native of the former Soviet Union and a naturalized American citizen from 2012, who led the network that supplied military equipment to Russia from the United States through his company, Arc Electronics Inc., notes Nicole Hong is the author of the article.

From 2002 to 2012, Arc Electronics allegedly sent equipment worth about 50 billions of dollars to Russia, but never received an export license from either the US Department of Commerce or the State Department, the article says.

“According to prosecutors, in order to obtain microelectronics containing strategic technologies from American suppliers, Arc employees claimed that the company was a manufacturer of traffic lights, while in fact it was an exporter and did not produce any goods,” the journalist notes.

“According to prosecutors, Arc concealed its activities by transporting components to Russia through intermediaries in Finland, Canada and Germany, and accepting payments through shell companies in countries such as Belize,” the newspaper reports.

“Fishchenko is the fifth of eleven defendants in this case who pleaded guilty. In two weeks, he will have to appear in court with three of his other employees at Arc: Alexander Posobilov, Shavkat Abdullaev and Anastasia Dyatlova,” the publication reports.
