The UK government is tightening its sanctions regime after openDemocracy revealed that it waived its own rules to allow a Russian warlord to sue a British journalist.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose mercenary Wagner army has been responsible for much of the bloodshed in Ukraine, was sanctioned by the UK in 2020 over Wagner’s activities in Africa.
Sanctions are supposed to restrict travel and all business with the individual targeted.
