Ex-ASML, NXP employee sentenced to three year jail term for sharing corporate secrets
ROTTERDAM :A Dutch court on Thursday sentenced a former employee of semiconductor firms ASML and NXP to three years in prison for sharing sensitive company technology with a contact in Russia, in violation of European Union sanctions. The District Court of Rotterdam found the 43-year-old man, German Aksenov, guilty of computer intrusion and illegally providing technical assistance to Russia. "NXP has a zero-tolerance policy towards data theft and embezzlement. We cooperated with the prosecutor's offices throughout this process", NXP told Reuters in an email. ASML was not immediately available to comment. Aksenov was arrested in August 2023 and has remained in custody since. Prosecutors had initially accused Aksenov of selling stolen design manuals for cash and having contact with Russia's FSB intelligence service. However, the court's final sentence was one year less than the four years prosecutors had demanded, as it could not be proven that Aksenov had been paid for sharing the confidential business information.
