US data-extraction firm accused of secret Russian control

Original: A U.S.-based data-extraction firm accused of being secretly run from Russia has worked on EU-backed projects and sold it

A US-based data-extraction firm has reportedly been secretly run from Russia while working on EU-backed projects and selling its services to European law enforcement agencies. The claims come from documents seen by POLITICO, raising questions about how the company gained access to publicly funded European programmes and police contracts despite its alleged ties to Moscow.

Why now: The reported link between Russian control and EU-funded projects and law enforcement contracts has triggered concerns about security vetting of public sector suppliers.
