(Date of UN designation: 2022-04-21) (Also designated under Libya sanctions)

Belgian Financial Sanctions,

Associated entities: Wagner Group, internet Research Agency, Concord company group, Concord Management and Consulting LLC, Megaline LLC

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Yevgeniy Prigozhin was a Russian leading businessperson with close ties to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and the Russian Ministry of Defence. He reportedly died in a plane crash on 23 August 2023. He publicly confirmed that he founded the Wagner Group, a Russia-based unincorporated military entity, responsible for the deployment of Wagner Group mercenaries in Ukraine. In 2022, a joint stock company called “PMC Wagner Center” was established and registered in Saint Petersburg, with the aim of “providing a comfortable environment for generating new ideas to improve Russia’s defence capability”. The Wagner Group, led by Yevgeniy Prigozhin, has played an important role in the fighting in and occupation of territories in Eastern Ukraine. Concord, also known as KOMBINAT PITANIYA KONKORD OOO, a company which Prigozhin founded and owned until November 2019, and a group of other companies with ties to him, including Concord Management and Consulting LLC and Megaline LLC, have been benefitting from large public contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defence following the illegal annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and the occupation of Eastern Ukraine by Russia-backed separatists. Yevgeniy Prigozhin was a leading businessperson operating in Russia. He was responsible for and actively implemented actions which have undermined and threatened the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Moreover, he benefitted from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Eastern Ukraine. Yevgeniy Prigozhin’s son, Pavel Prigozhin, is the primary heir and beneficiary of his assets, possessions, and properties. Pavel Prigozhin is listed by the Union for his involvement in military operations against Ukraine. Therefore, it is appropriate to retain Yevgeniy Prigozhin on the list of natural or legal persons, entities or bodies subject to the asset freeze and the prohibition on making funds and economic resources available as there is a likelihood that the assets concerned would otherwise be used to finance Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine or other actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.

Entités associées: groupe Wagner, Internet Research Agency, Concord company group, Concord Management and Consulting LLC, Megaline LLC Nationalité: russe Sexe: masculin Yevgeniy Prigozhin était un homme d’affaires russe influent entretenant des liens étroits avec le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, et le ministère russe de la défense. Il serait décédé dans un accident d’avion le 23 août 2023. Il a publiquement confirmé avoir fondé le groupe Wagner, une entité militaire non constituée en société basée en Russie, responsable du déploiement de mercenaires du groupe Wagner en Ukraine. En 2022, une société par actions dénommée “PMC Wagner Center” a été créée et enregistrée à Saint-Pétersbourg, dans le but de “créer un environnement propice à la naissance de nouvelles idées permettant d’améliorer les capacités de défense de la Russie”. Le groupe Wagner, dirigé par Yevgeniy Prigozhin, a joué un rôle important dans les combats et l’occupation des territoires dans l’est de l’Ukraine. Concord, également connue sous la dénomination de KOMBINAT PITANIYA KONKORD OOO, une société que Prigozhin a fondée et détenue jusqu’en novembre 2019, et un groupe d’autres sociétés qui lui sont liées, y compris Concord Management and Consulting LLC et Megaline LLC, ont bénéficié d’importants contrats publics avec le ministère russe de la défense à la suite de l’annexion illégale de la Crimée par la Fédération de Russie et de l’occupation de l’est de l’Ukraine par des séparatistes soutenus par la Russie. Yevgeniy Prigozhin était un homme d’affaires influent exerçant des activités en Russie. Il était également responsable d’actions qui ont compromis et menacé l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine et a activement mis en œuvre ces actions. En outre, il a tiré avantage de décideurs russes responsables de l’annexion de la Crimée ou de la déstabilisation de l’est de l’Ukraine. Le fils de Yevgeniy Prigozhin, Pavel Prigozhin, est le principal héritier et bénéficiaire de ses avoirs, de ses biens et de ses propriétés. Pavel Prigozhin est inscrit sur la liste de l’Union pour son implication dans des opérations militaires contre l’Ukraine. Par conséquent, il convient de maintenir Yevgeniy Prigozhin sur la liste des personnes physiques ou morales, des entités ou des organismes faisant l’objet d’un gel des avoirs ou d’une interdiction de mise à disposition de fonds et de ressources économiques, étant donné qu’il est probable que les avoirs concernés serviraient autrement au financement de la guerre d’agression menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine ou d’autres actions compromettant ou menaçant l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine.
