California company settles proposed charges over illegal shipments to Russia
(Reuters) -A California company that illegally shipped transistors and other items to Russia last year that it could use in radar and avionics systems for its war on Ukraine settled proposed U.S. charges, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday. As part of the settlement, the Commerce Department imposed a civil penalty of $3.3 million, reduced because the company self-disclosed the violations and cooperated. “After Russia’s further invasion of Ukraine, the United States imposed extensive new export controls for Russia,” John Sonderman, director of the Commerce Department’s Office of Export Enforcement, said in a statement.
