They acted in defiance of interests of the Russian Federation with a view to obtain material profit both for themselves personally and for the members of the criminal group.
Adamov, Frayshtut and Pismenniy arranged the transfer of 62% of shares in the Russian-American uranium trading joint venture Globe Nuclear Services and Supply (GNSS), a private American company, controlled by Pismenniy. Russian structures lost over 30 million dollars of profit.

Presently, the criminal case against Alexander Chernov accused by investigation agencies of large-scale fraud committed in an organized group (par. 'a, b' part 3 art. CCRF 159 in edition of 13.06.1997, № 62 - FL), has been detached in a separate production, and an international search for him his has been announced.

Code 286) and sentenced him to 5 years and 6 months of imprisonment at a general regime penal colony. He was also disqualified for three years from public positions.
