Moldova – raids on company exporting dual-use goods to Russian military

Moldova’s Information and Security Service and Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Organized Crime and Special Cases, have conducted raids on the premises of Comelpro SRL.

The company is alleged to have exported technical equipment used in the propulsion systems of YAK-130 and SU-27 aircraft for the Russian military before sanctions were imposed, and then continued to do so by relabelling the exported products as “waste processing devices”, and declaring that the goods were being shipped to a front company in Russia.

The value of the exports is reported to be 21 million lei (approximately €1.03m).

Moldova – first known investigation into Russian sanctions breach

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.
