Russian charged with smuggling US counterintel tech to Motherland
Friday in Brooklyn, New York. He's being charged with conspiracy to defraud the US, conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, two counts of conspiracy to violate the Export Control Reform Act and smuggling.
Spectrum analyzers of the kind Balakaev is accused of smuggling are often used to detect radio signals to identify hidden surveillance devices, while the signal generators are often used to securely transmit information as a part of covert operations. Balakaev is also accused of smuggling an Altair 4X gas detector, used to detect combustible and toxic gasses as well as oxygen-deficient atmospheres, and related software to North Korea.
The Justice Department's statement points to Balakaev's activity continuing up to the present."To prevent the continuance of violations identified in the indictment, the defendant is now subject to a Commerce temporary denial order, which restricts his ability to access US technologies," said Jonathan Carson, special agent-in-charge of the Department of Commerce's New York Field office for Export Enforcement.
