The U.S. Treasury Department issued new sanctions against the Kremlin-connected Russian businessman accused of orchestrating a campaign for Moscow to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, this time over alleged interference in the 2018 midterm vote.
The Trump administration’s action against Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the Kremlin caterer U.S. prosecutors and security officials say headed a Moscow-directed campaign to tamper with the U.S. political system, is the first use of new authorities Congress granted last year specifically to punish election interference.
The Treasury Department had previously imposed sanctions on Mr. Prigozhin, six Russians involved in the operations, and the firm he is accused of using to carry out his 2016 election interference, the Internet Research Agency.
The Russian Embassy in Washington didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, but the Kremlin and Mr. Prigozhin have previously denied the U.S. allegations.
The new sanctions bar U.S. companies or individuals from conducting business with the blacklisted entities and will complicate their ability to travel and maintain relationships with Western businesses, including airport and port services.
