According to Benjamin Haddad, a deputy belonging to the party of the French president Emmanuel Macron and one of the authors of the resolution, the main objective is to “strengthen the legal instruments against the Wagner group”. Adding the group to the EU list would have a collective effect on all stakeholders, including banks, that make its business possible.
If the Wagner Group were listed as a terrorist organization, it would become a criminal offense to belong to the group, attend its meetings, encourage support for the group, or wear the group’s logo in public.
