The Republic of Korea imposed sanctions against two legal entities and four individuals due to their participation in sending North Korean information technology workers abroad and receiving foreign currency, including a Russian-registered company and representatives of North Korean banks in Vladivostok.
As Day.Az reports with reference to TASS, the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported this.
According to Seoul, legal entities were associated with sending specialists from the DPRK abroad, and individuals were associated with money laundering and other “illegal financial activities” that contributed to Pyongyang’s receipt of foreign currency. South Korean authorities believe that these people also helped circumvent sanctions.
The list included the UAE company Pioneer Bencont Star Real Estate and the Russian company Alice. The authorities noted that the latter is connected with the company for cooperation in the field of information technology development “Chinyon”, against which sanctions were previously imposed.
Among the four individuals, two are representatives of North Korean banks in Russia.
Seoul noted that it is working closely with the United States to block illegal activities in the cyber sphere to obtain funds for the DPRK’s missile and nuclear programs. Washington imposed sanctions against two companies and six individuals, including the above.
