Denis Postovoy (44) was arrested on charges of conspiring to violate US export control laws. Residing in Sarasota, FL, the defendant is accused of smuggling, money laundering, and defrauding the US by exporting microelectronic components with military applications to Russia. The scheme aimed to strengthen Russia’s military capabilities.

Postovoy allegedly began his illicit activities in February 2022, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, by acquiring US-made microelectronics used in drones and exporting them to Russia without proper licenses.

An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

1. Russian... in Florida.... helping Putin.

What are the odds?

2. Gov DeSantis is using his state police forces for all kinds of wasteful nonsense,

like investigating ballot box initiatives or election integrity. Meanwhile police officers in the Sunshine State are running amok abusing people of color and Russians under his nose are helping the Kremlin.

This violation was prosecuted federally, but the FDLE may have competency. They investigate: Domestic security, Major drugs, Violent crime, Public integrity, Fraud/economic crime.

Either way, the thought wouldn't occur to DeSantis to focus his investigators on nefarious Russians like the Met UK Police does in London to help MI5.
