ECA Program were the firm in question; the Su-27s were meant to be coming from Belarus. They had big ambitions according to some reports

If I've done my googling properly, the firm (and if it was a different one, one of the directors had the same name as the Flanker-purchasing business) went into liquidation about a year after the story in the link above appeared.
