South Korea has imposed economic restrictions against two entities and four individuals over deals to send North Korean IT workers overseas and receive foreign currency.
According to TASS, among them were a company registered in Russia and representatives of DPRK financial organizations in Vladivostok.
According to the South Korean Foreign Ministry, the legal entities were involved in sending employees from the DPRK abroad, while the individuals were involved in money laundering and other "illegal activities." Authorities suggest they were instrumental in circumventing sanctions.
The list includes UAE-based Pioneer Bencont Star Real Estate and Russia's Alis. The latter is linked to the IT development cooperation company Chinen, which was previously sanctioned.
Among the four individuals, two are representatives of DPRK banks in Russia.
Recall that Russia had problems paying for goods in three countries.
