Siarhei Mironau

IT-specialist Siarhei Mironau, detained in Armenia, is an employee of the “Synesis” LLC.

The 30-year-old specialist in the sphere of the informational technologies Siarhei Mironau, who was put on the international wanted list under the enquiry of the United States, was detained in the Zvartnots airport in Armenia. The American authorities suspect him in illegal arms traffic. Alongside with this, the Russian law-enforcement agencies received no enquiries from any foreign force structures regarding retrieval of the Russian Federation’s citizen Siarhei Mironau.

"Siarhei Mironau is our employee, we know about his detention,”— the company’s representative has informed to the Russian propagandistic portal Sputnik. He has refused to clarify which branch – Minsk or Moscow – Mironau worked at. The company has also restrained from comments on how the personnel took his detention.

During the detention, Mironau was told that he had been under retrieval by the US government for white-washing 50 thousand dollars and passing some technologies, says his lawyer Karen Nersesyan. According to Mr. Nersesyan, he had no access to military technologies. The lawyer has pointed out that his client only visited the United States once – he spent a week there in 2013, on a business trip.

Mironau wrote on his Facebook page that he visited the American office of the company Intel and a number of other American companies in November 2013.
