Three arrested for exporting military goods to Russia

Deliberate breach of EU sanctions against RussiaInvestigations into the case were initiated at the end of 2022 by the Dutch authorities and led to the uncovering of a web of enterprises that were used to circumvent the ban for exports to Russia. Europol supported the investigation by providing analytical support, as well as conducting crosschecks on the data gathered during the searches. Eurojust enabled the cross-border judicial cooperation and organised a coordination meeting to prepare for the joint actions, at the request of the Dutch authorities. Eurojust also set up a coordination centre during the action day in January 2024, which took place simultaneously in all of the involved countries.
