US Charges Indian Man With Smuggling Weapons Technology
U.S. government prosecutors have charged a businessman with shipping sensitive U.S. weapons technology to India in violation of export controls. Parthasarathy Sudarshan, chief executive of Cirrus Electronics, pleaded not guilty Tuesday at a U.S. federal court in Washington.
Prosecutors accuse him and three colleagues with shipping heat-resistant memory chips and microprocessors to three Indian government agencies, via Singapore. The Indian agencies are involved in the research and production of spacecraft, ballistic missiles, and fighter jets.
U.S. Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Wainstein says the arrests have shut down a network of technology smugglers that undermined U.S. national security.
U.S. federal agents arrested Sudarshan and his global sales manager on March 23rd. A company official based in Bangalore and another based in Singapore have also been indicted in connection with the charges.
美國政府檢察官指控一名商人違反出口管制條例，將敏感的美國武器技術(shù)產(chǎn)品運(yùn)往印度。CIRRUS電子公司的主管蘇達(dá)山星期二在美國首都華盛頓的一個(gè)聯(lián)邦法院提出無罪申辯。
美國檢察官指控蘇達(dá)山和三名同事將抗熱記憶芯片和微處理器經(jīng)由新加坡運(yùn)給了印度3個(gè)政府機(jī)構(gòu)。這些印度政府部門參與宇宙飛船、彈道導(dǎo)彈和噴氣式戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)的研制。
美國司法部助理部長溫斯泰因表示，逮捕行動(dòng)切斷了一個(gè)破壞美國國家安全的技術(shù)走私網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
美國聯(lián)邦特工3月23號(hào)逮捕了蘇達(dá)山和他手下的全球銷售經(jīng)理。這名經(jīng)理也是印度人。CIRRUS公司駐印度班加羅爾的一名公司官員和駐新加坡的另外一名公司人員也因涉案而受到起訴。
