FBI says firm illegally sold items to Russia

Electronics had military uses

HOUSTON — An FBI agent testified Friday that employees at a Houston company were coached to hide information about the cutting-edge microelectronics the firm was buying from US manufacturers and illegally reselling to Russian military and intelligence agencies.

Federal agents have arrested Alexander Fishenko, owner of Arc Electronics Inc., and seven of his employees, including Alexander Posobilov, who was the company’s director of procurement. They are accused of being involved in a scheme to illicitly sell military technology to Russia, starting in 2008.
