Grupo Wagner vai ser declarado organização terrorista no RU

September 6, 2023 - Apesar da morte do seu líder, o grupo de mercenários russo Wagner continua a ser uma extensa força potencialmente agitadora nos diversos países onde opera. Mas o grupo vai ser declarado organização terrorista pelo governo do Reino Unido – o que implica que será ilegal ser membro ou apoiar o grupo.

A draft order to be laid in Parliament will allow its assets to be categorised as terrorist property and seized.

Wagner had played a key role in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as operating in Syria and countries in Africa including Libya and Mali.

Its fighters have been accused of a number crimes including killing and torturing Ukrainian citizens.

The group’s future was thrown into uncertainty earlier this year when its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against Russia’s military leaders.

Prigozhin, who founded the group in 2014, died in a suspicious plane crash along with other Wagner figures on 23 August, the BBC said.
