The European Union plans to activate up to four sanctioning regimes against the Russian mercenary network known as Wagner on Monday. The punishment entails the freezing of assets in the EU Member States and the prohibition to enter community territory. And its tentacles have been or are present in Syria, Sudan, Mozambique, Libya, the Central African Republic and Venezuela. In the Central African Republic, for example, a group company, Lobaye Invest, acquired prospecting rights in several gold and diamond deposits, according to the European Parliament. And in December of last year he filed an appeal against the European sanctions before the General Court of the EU, still pending resolution.
