A Belgian national has been charged with illegally attempting to export military technologies to China and Russia from the United States.

The Department of Justice unsealed two indictments against Hans De Geetere, 61, of Knokke-Heist, Belgium, on Dec. 6 for his alleged role in the scheme, which involved using several companies throughout the world to smuggle the goods to China and Russia.
