“The destabilizing activities of Wagner PMCs serve only the political goals of the Kremlin. They are terrorists,” Braverman said.
According to her, the activities of Wagner PMC in Ukraine and Africa pose a threat to global security.
Once Wagner is designated a terrorist organization in the UK, it will be a criminal offense to support the company and publicly endorse its activities. The maximum penalty for such offenses is 14 years in prison.
Wearing the symbols of a group recognized as terrorist in Britain is punishable by a fine of up to 5 thousand pounds, or imprisonment for up to six months.
US recognizes PMC “Wagner” as an international criminal organization
Back in January 2023, the United States imposed sanctions against the private military company Wagner and recognized it as an international criminal organization. The sanctions list included the Wagner PMC itself, as well as the head of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation in Tula, Ivan Prokopenko.
In addition, numerous legal entities and individuals on different continents that support the military operations of the Wagner group fell under US sanctions.
