Oleg Tishchenko was accused in a Utah court of buying documentation for US military aircraft in violation of US laws.
The case against him was brought back in 2016, but the documents were disclosed recently, after a man was detained in Georgia, from where he was extradited to the United States.
Earlier, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian side will monitor the observance of the rights of Tishchenko.
