17 Jul 2024 Electronics for Orlan-10 drones: 6 years 9 months' imprisonment for Saarland trader GermanyBreaches of sanctions and embargoes €880,000

From January 2020 to May 2023, a 59-year-old German-Russian supplied more than 120,000 electronic components in 54 instances to Russian arms manufacturers, including for the Orlan 10 reconnaissance drone, and after February 2022 named sham recipients in Hong Kong and Kyrgyzstan. The 7th Criminal Division of the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht Stuttgart, Ref. 7 St 3 BJs 119/23) sentenced him to six years and nine months, a co-defendant to one year and nine months suspended, and ordered the confiscation of 880,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Electronics traders must check end users: standard components end up in Russian drones, and sham recipients in third countries do not protect against punishment.
