–Two Arrested for Technology Export Violations (April 3, 5 & 6, 2007)
US federal prosecutors have charged Cirrus Electronics founder Parthasarathy Sudarshan on charges of export violations, international arms trafficking, being an agent for a foreign government and conspiracy. Sudarshan allegedly shipped US computer technology to three Indian government agencies to be used in weapons systems. The US Commerce Department restricts exports to these agencies. The equipment includes heat-resistant memory chips, microprocessors, capacitors and semiconductors used in missile guidance and firing systems. A US court has rejected Sudarshan's request for bail. Also arrested was Cirrus Electronics international sales manager Mythili Gopa. Two other people have been indicted in the case, but not arrested.
