Erik Prince the former head of #blackwater Indicted In #Austria For #Trafficking Arms To #Libya
⬛️ A United Nations security report from February 2021 confirmed the suspicion. According to the #UN expert panel, Prince is said to have violated the current arms embargo on Libya . Accordingly, he is said to have pulled the strings for a secret military operation in #Africa to supply the Libyan general and warlord Chalifa #Haftar with expensive war equipment for his fight against the government.
⬛️ According to #Habitzl, in addition to criminal charges against five people, an application for an association fine was also filed against Airborne Technologies. In addition to Erik Prince, the Lower Austrian company also has to answer for itself in the process.
⬛️ It is extremely questionable whether the US billionaire will appear in court in Austria. Without confirming his name and identity, the Vice President of the Wiener Neustadt Regional Court, Birgit Borns , reveals that the exact whereabouts of "one of the five suspects" are not known. “We lack an upright address. A request for legal assistance is therefore being sent to the authorities in the #USA,” explains Borns. According to the spokeswoman, no trial date has yet been set.
⬛️ #Prince is considered an Austria fan, he already had registration addresses in Eisenstadt and later in Neusiedl am See in Burgenland.
