Alexander Manonov, a 62-year-old Florida resident and Russian national, was convicted on all twelve counts in a federal jury trial related to a scheme to illegally export aircraft parts from the United States to Russia and the state-owned airline PJSC Aeroflot. [^1]

Mamonov illegally exported nearly one million dollars of aviation parts to Russia by lying to U.S. suppliers about their destination, according to Assistant Director Roman Rozhavsky of the FBI's Counterintelligence and Espionage Division. [^2]

According to court documents and testimony, Mamonov is a former Aeroflot employee who relocated from Russia to South Florida and conspired with Vakorin to acquire and illegally ship over $900,000 in aircraft parts to Russia and to Aeroflot after the U.S. Department of Commerce increased restrictions on Russian exports. [^3]

U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones stated that Russia cannot evade American sanctions and export controls by routing its purchases through South Florida and that the defendant conspired to secretly funnel nearly $1 million in American aircraft parts to Russia and Aeroflot. [^4]

Mamonov, a former Aeroflot employee, conspired to circumvent U.S. export restrictions imposed after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine by misleading American suppliers about the parts' final destination. [^5]

The conviction emphasizes the U.S. government's commitment to enforcing export-control laws and sanctions against those attempting to provide U.S.-origin goods to adversaries. [^6]
