WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The FBI arrested a Russian citizen on the US island territory of Guam over allegations of illegally exporting defense materials, a court document revealed.

"Defendant Dimitrii Makarenko… was arrested on December 29," the document, dated December 31 but publicly released on Friday, said. "Court, after hearing from the parties, granted the Government’s Petition for Transfer… and ordered Defendant be brought to the Southern District of Florida."
