MOSCOW: A Moscow court, on Monday, sentenced four Russians between 5 and 11 years in a prison camp for selling missile technology to China, news agencies reported.
The four men were found guilty of providing China with dual-use technology that could be diverted to build missiles, a Russian news agency reported.
Igor Reshetin, a member of the Russian academy of aeronautics and president of an export firm, and three accomplices were convicted on several charges including money-laundering and embezzlement.
Russian prosecutors said the four men received more than USD two million for the technology between 1998 and 2003.
