A NH resident was arrested in an alleged international scheme to smuggle ammunition for sniper rifles and electronics that can be used in nuclear or hypersonic weapons from the U.S. to Russia, officials said.
A group of Russians and Americans secretly funneled millions of dollars worth of military and other sensitive equipment through New Hampshire and elsewhere in the country to evade U.S. sanctions, federal officials announced Tuesday.
Alexey Brayman, a permanent resident of the U.S. living in Merrimack, New Hampshire, was arrested, along with Vadim Yermolenko of New Jersey, according to the U.S. Justice Department. Suspected Russian spy Vadim Konoshchenok was arrested in the Balkan country of Estonia, where authorities found about 375 lbs. of ammunition from the U.S. Four others in Russia were charged as well.
The scheme outlined by federal authorities involved a pair of companies based in Moscow and run under Russian spy services that were placed under sanctions after the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as well as a network of shell companies across the country.
