Person:description | Attempted to procure a multi-gas monitor, which, according to Germany, is a prohibited dual-use item that may be used in the production of chemical weapons, while based at the Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in Berlin, Germany, in 2012 and 2013. Germany informed the Panel that it had prevented the procurement attempt but had been unable to take any legal action against Ri owing to his diplomatic status. Germany subsequently expelled Ri and informed other European Union member States about his activities. As a result, he was refused accreditation at the Permanent Mission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the United Nations in Vienna and at the Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in Sofia. According to a UN Member State, Ri was then assigned to the Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in Moscow. | kp_rusi_reports | kprusi-a8166203794cc676b5890eefd675b9f10059e4c3 | ||||
