Sudanese authorities charged a Russian national with gold smuggling but dropped a probe into other employees of the local company and let processing resume at a facility it bought from a firm allegedly tied to the Russian mercenary Wagner Group.
The case against the head of security at Al-Sawlaj for Mining Ltd. for allegedly transporting 5 kilograms (161 ounces) of illicit gold is the only one moving ahead, the company’s legal adviser, Huweda Mursal, said by phone.
