July saw two noteworthy Russia enforcement actions. A Russian national was arrested in Estonia and extradited to the United States after being charged with conspiring to procure U.S.-origin technologies and ammunition on behalf of the Russian government. In addition, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on entities and individuals to limit Russian access to U.S. technology and disrupt the Russian economy.

There was also a major China-related enforcement action. An indictment was unsealed alleging that a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen flouted foreign agent registration requirements and sought to broker weapons deals between Chinese companies and foreign governments.
