Shortly after the US Department of the Treasury declared the Wagner group a transnational criminal organization and imposed appropriate sanctions, the Verkhovna Rada recognized this VAT as an international criminal organization.
333 people’s deputies cast their votes for the draft resolution number 8397, people’s deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko said.
The document, in particular, contains a proposal to appeal to the governments and parliaments of the countries of the world with a call to recognize the Wagner Group as an international criminal organization, based on the nature of its activities in Ukraine, the Central African Republic, Mali, Libya and Syria.
And the Office of the Prosecutor General, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine are instructed to intensify the pre-trial investigation of criminal offenses against persons, in particular the Wagner PPK, suspected of committing them on the territory of Ukraine, with the aim of its high-quality and prompt implementation and transfer of relevant materials to statutory order to the court.
People’s deputies also recognized Russian private military companies as terrorist organizations.
Earlier it was reported that the Wagner group in 2022 earned at least $ 1 billion from gold mining in the Central African Republic (CAR). Such information is contained in a secret report received by the administration of US President Joe Biden.
