MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin man accused of smuggling lab equipment to Russian companies in violation of trade sanctions will spend the next year in federal prison.  U.S. District Judge William Conley sentenced 68-year-old Andrew Pogosyan on Tuesday to a year and a day and fined him $10,000.   Federal prosecutors charged Pogosyan, a Russian-born U.S. citizen who lives in Madison, in June with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and three counts of smuggling.  According to prosecutors, Pogosyan started using his company, Omega Diagnostics LLC, in September 2022 to ship lab equipment to Russian companies, including one that performed chemical research for the Russian military.  Pogosyan pleaded guilty in July to all four counts. He had faced up to 35 years in prison.
