A businessman with interests in Germany, bypassing sanctions, exported American lithographs to Russia for the manufacture of microcircuits.

Ties with the West do not prevent foreign firms from selling semiconductor dry etching installations for the production of chips to Russia in circumvention of sanctions. As The Insider found out, among the leaders in violating US bans on the supply of American high-tech products to Russia was the Hong Kong company of an entrepreneur with Singaporean citizenship and business in Germany.

This year, the Russian Engineering Group LLC imported from China and Taiwan lithography machines for the manufacture of microcircuits, as well as parts and spare parts for them manufactured by the American Applied Materials in the amount of more than $ 4 million. According to the Hong Kong registry, the company is owned by a Chinese citizen named Chan Po Wah (陳寶華) and a Singaporean citizen named Gallal Sabry Sera. The equipment imported by the company is dry etching units, which has a number of technological advantages compared to wet etching.

In Russia, a person with the same name (recorded as Serag Gallal Sabry) at different times was a co-owner of five different companies. One of them, Kvant LLC, still continues to work in Zelenograd, having a revenue of several billion rubles a year and a staff of about 1000 people. Another Singaporean company (over which Serag still retains control) is engaged in the supply of ordinary household appliances from China.

Gallal Sabra Serag may well be described as a Western European industrialist and businessman with serious interests in the European Union. A person with the same name is listed as the director of the German company Ledsikon (formerly RandLight GmbH), which produces LED devices.
