Prosecutors in New York City on Oct. 31 charged a Brooklyn resident and two Russian-Canadian nationals with illegally exporting millions of dollars worth of electronics, including semiconductors and other components, to sanctioned Russia amid its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the Department of Justice announced.
A criminal complaint unsealed Monday accuses Nikolay Goltsev, 37, and Kristina Puzyreva, 32, both of Montreal, Canada, and Salimdzhon Nasriddinov, a 52-year-old Brooklyn resident and Russia-Tajikistan dual citizen, of taking part in a “global procurement scheme” on behalf of sanctioned Russian entities, including companies linked to the Russian military.
