MOSCOW, May 30 (UPI) -- Russia's Federal Security Service formally dropped all charges against chemist Oleg Korobeinichev, who was suspected of divulging state secrets.

The researcher from the Russian city of Novosibirsk was accused by the service of providing the U.S. Department of Defense top secret information regarding advanced types of solid rocket fuel, the Moscow Times said Wednesday.

Korosbeinichev's lawyer said that, according to FSB officials, the charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence.
