According to the authorities, the products were supplied to companies linked to the Russian military-industrial complex and those under international sanctions.

The total value of the shipments currently being investigated by investigators exceeds 21 million lei (about one million euros).

As reported by the ISS and PCCOCS, since 2022, a Moldovan company has allegedly exported control and measurement systems for electrical signals from sensors. These systems are used in the engines of Yak-130 trainer-fighter aircraft and Su-27 fighter jets. The total value of the shipments amounted to about 21 million lei.

According to law enforcement, the company indicated in customs declarations that it was exporting "waste processing equipment." In this way, it tried to hide the true purpose of the goods and mislead the customs authorities. In addition, the company did not obtain the necessary permits for the export of dual-use goods.

According to the investigation, representatives of the company created a firm in Russia to hide the final recipient of the goods. Through this firm, they imported the products and then transferred them to an organization linked to the Russian military-industrial complex and under international sanctions.

Law enforcement also claims that company representatives directly coordinated technical documentation, tasks, and test results with the recipient in Russia.

On June 24, ISS officers and PCCOCS prosecutors conducted six searches. They seized parts of control and measurement systems, computer equipment, mobile phones, technical documents, and contracts that are important for the investigation.

Investigators will study the seized documents and equipment as part of the criminal case. Law enforcement continues the investigation.
