According to the FSB, Karetsky, implementing a criminal intent aimed at providing material and technical assistance to Ukraine, purchased aviation bearings on Russian territory used for equipping aviation military equipment (helicopters of the Mil and Kamov families, both civilian and military purpose, as well as Su and MiG military aircraft of various modifications).
Consensus
- Roman Karetsky, a 59-year-old Russian citizen born in 1967, was sentenced to 13 years in prison by the Moscow City Court.
- The sentence was for attempting to export aviation bearings from Russia to Ukraine.
- The bearings were intended for use on military helicopters of the 'Mil' and 'Kamov' families and military aircraft such as Su and MiG models.
- Karetsky allegedly planned to transport the parts outside Russia without following official procedures.
- The goods were meant for delivery to the Ukrainian state-owned enterprise PАО 'Motor Sich'.
- 'Motor Sich' is described by all sources as a key enterprise servicing military aircraft and helicopters of Ukraine's armed forces.
- Karetsky was also fined 1 million rubles.
- The case involved charges under Article 275 (treason) and Article 226.1 (smuggling of technology usable in weapons production) of the Russian Criminal Code.
- The FSB reported that they uncovered and prevented the illegal activity.
