WASHINGTON :The U.S. Justice Department said it plans on Tuesday to announce the first enforcement actions from a"strike force" of federal prosecutors formed in February in part to keep sensitive technologies away from countries like Russia and China.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, the department's No. 2 official, said in February that the new group was a joint effort with the U.S. Commerce Department to safeguard American technology from foreign adversaries and other national security threats. Monaco said at the time that the United States would"strike back against adversaries trying to siphon off our most advanced technology, and to attack tomorrow's national security threats today.
In a case that may be related to the strike force's work, a criminal complaint was filed in Arizona last Friday against Oleg Patsulya and Vasilii Besedin, two Russian nationals living in the United States, for allegedly conspiring to send aircraft parts to Russian airlines in violation of U.S. export control laws.
