Federal prosecutors said Russian nationals Yury Orekhov and Svetlana Kuzurgasheva purchased semiconductors, radars, and satellites for Russian buyers and used a German company to ship the products. Orekhov was arrested in Germany on Oct. 19 and Artem Uss, also charged in the case, has been arrested in Italy.
