US Sanctions Aim to Keep Russian Financier from Meddling in Sudan's Future

Salem Solomon

   WASHINGTON - Known as Russian President Vladimir Putin's "chef" because
   of the billions he made in the catering business, Russian financier
   Yevgeniy Prigozhin had far more cooking abroad, including meddling in
   U.S. elections and suppressing democracy in Sudan, according to U.S.
   charges.

   Now, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is issuing strong
   deterrents to ensure that Prigozhin and his network of offshore
   interests and fronts for mercenaries do not interfere in Sudan's
   future.
