US sieht die Wagner Gruppe als Terror-Organisation
November 30, 2022 -
Die USA überlegt ob sie die russische Wagner Gruppe als ausländische Terror-Organisation etikettieren kann. Die Gruppe war zuletzt in der Ukraine, Syrien und Afrika tätig.
Labelling Wagner as a foreign terrorist organisation would allow the United States to pursue criminal prosecution against the group and its members, as well as go after its assets around the globe, according to Bloomberg.
Moving against Wagner would mark a new U.S. effort to counter a group that has gained in prominence and power around the globe, especially since Russia invaded Ukraine, where its mercenaries have played a major role in the fighting. The Wagner Group also has a growing presence in Africa, Bloomberg said.
