- 25 May 2023 (OFAC):
On May 25, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) designated Ivan Aleksandrovich Maslov, the Head of Russian Private Military Company ‘Wagner’ (“Wagner Group”) in Mali pursuant to Executive Order 14024 for having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, the Wagner Group. OFAC’s accompanying press release notes that the “Wagner Group may be attempting to obscure its efforts to acquire military equipment for use in Ukraine, including by working through Mali and other countries where it has a foothold.” OFAC has previously designated the Wagner Group and its leader, Yevgeniy Viktorovich Progozhin, under multiple sanctions authorities.
