$6.5M U.S. Tech Bound for Russia Seized by Authorities
The attempted shipment of a Vector 40G turbine from the U.S. to Russia was halted last Tuesday as American authorities caught suspicions that the installation was destined for use in the Russian Arctic, the Kommersant business daily reported.
The $6.5 million turbine
is produced by U.S. company Dresser-Rand.
Its exportation to Russia
would mean a violation of U.S. sanctions against the country.
The case is now under investigation by U.S. prosecutors, Kommersant reported, citing court documents.
