In October, the European Union convicted Prigozin, known as Putin’s chef, for punishing his company, Concord, for providing food to the Kremlin. He is accused of supporting a private mercenary army, Wagner, and thus undermining the peace in war-torn Libya.
“The plaintiff has no information about the existence of the organization called Wagner Group, he has not had or has any relationship or relationship with it, including the financial one,” Concord said in a statement posted on the social network VKontakte.
It also claims that the lawsuit was filed with the EU General Court last week, alleging that the bloc’s sanctions were “illegally and unjustifiably imposed.”
Prigozin, 59, was also sanctioned by the United States for interfering in its 2016 presidential elections and for ties to Wagner, accused of sending mercenaries to conflict zones in the Middle East and Africa.
On Monday, Concord reported that Prigožinas had spent nearly 500,000. USD (411 thousand euros) in support of two recently freed Russian political figures in Libya who were arrested in the country last year and accused of intervening in the elections on the orders of the Kremlin.
The two worked for the National Values Foundation, a Moscow-based organization that belongs to a media group that the United States associates with Prigozhin.
