Three students from the Kainuu school in Finland, who hold Russian citizenship, have been apprehended on suspicion of exporting dual-use items overseas. The individuals involved are two 25-year-old men and an 18-year-old woman, as per a report by Yle.
The police conducted an operation at the school premises and a city dormitory on April 30.
Yle suggests that authorities typically focus on the export of electronics, sensors, or lasers in such cases. These items could potentially breach sanction laws.
In a notable case from March 2014, a French national and CEO of Finnish logistics firms Luminor and Siberica, Gabriel Temin, received a nine-month suspended sentence in Finland for violating export regulations. Investigations revealed that his companies were shipping various products to Russia in defiance of sanctions. This marked the country’s first conviction related to breaching sanctions against Russia.
Update at 19:30 MSK: Three Russian citizens have been detained in Kajaani, Finland, on suspicion of exporting dual-use goods abroad, according to a report by Yle.
