Five Russian businessmen and three Syrians were indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice on charges they conspired to violate sanctions on Syria and Crimea.

The individuals allegedly wired U.S. dollars to Syria without receiving a license from the U.S. Treasury Department. They were also accused of trying to send jet fuel to Syria, in violation of sanctions.
