A Bulgarian has been sentenced to 38 months in prison by a federal court in Austin, Texas. This was reported by kdhnews.com, quoted by dariknews.bg.
Our compatriot violated the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, announced State Attorney Justin R. Simmons.
According to court documents, in August 2014, 51-year-old Milan Dimitrov started working at “Multi Technology Integration Group“ EOOD (MTIG) – a Bulgarian company created to assist two Russian companies in acquiring electronic circuit boards of American origin from an Austin-based company.
Following Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014, the United States criminalized the export of such goods to Russia without a license from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Dimitrov's sentence is considered served due to time already spent in custody.
