An ex-ASML employee has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment for sharing company secrets with a contact in Russia. According to a post on the Netherlands' judiciary website, De Rechtspraak (machine translation), the defendant copied information from ASML and NXP computer systems for his contact and accessed information specifically for this purpose. However, the sentence was reduced in length, from the four years sought by the prosecution, as there was no proof that the man acted for financial gain.
