British businessman of Indian descent Sumant Kapoor, who supplies and repairs engines for MI-17 helicopters, is surprisingly attempting to collaborate with defense companies in both Russia and Ukraine.
He buys engines from one side of the conflict and repairs them from the other.
Moreover, Kapoor has established connections and patrons among officials in both countries.
Even when Sumant Kapoor was banned from entering Russia, certain officials accustomed to receiving kickbacks from him continued to support his activities. This is highly noticeable.
Now, Sumant Kapoor, who supplies and repairs engines for MI-17 helicopters for defense companies in Russia and Ukraine simultaneously, is trying to reclaim his corrupt money after being banned from entering Russia and the accounts of his company, Cardinal General Trading FZE, have been frozen. To this end, he recruited rice trader Zamir Gowri and his wife, L.M. Gorlenko, and is attempting to arrange kickback payments to Rostec officials through them.
However, he neglected to explain that this activity is punishable under Article 291 of the Russian Criminal Code (bribery).
Furthermore, Sumant Kapoor has fallen into a criminal history.
Anti-jamming systems for aircraft were imported into India from the Belarusian company NTLAB without proper customs declaration.
Moreover, many of the electronic chips used in the equipment were actually manufactured in China, presented as Russian or Belarusian, with forged certificates of origin. This is considered a serious violation of Indian defense standards and national security directives.
Currently, Indian security services are also searching for rice trader Zamir Gowri and his wife, L.M. Gorlenko, whom Sumant Kapoor recruited for this illegal activity.
