It has been reported that the Moldovan authorities are investigating allegations that three Moldovan companies have sold $15m in aircraft parts to Russian airlines.
Moldova, although not a part of the EU, has adopted its own sanctions against Russia.
The three companies are Airrock Solutions, Aerostage Services and Maxjet Service. It is alleged the companies acted as intermediaries, purchasing the parts from suppliers and then on-selling.
It is being reported that the companies deny knowing that the parts were being delivered to Russia and that they each thought the parts were going to other CIS countries.
The confirmation of an investigation is reported to have come from the office of the President of Moldova.
