EU sanctions Turkish company accused of breaking Libya embargo

The European Union imposed sanctions on Monday on a Turkish shipping company accused of breaking a U.N. arms embargo on Libya and whose vessel was involved in a naval incident between NATO members France and Turkey in June.

“The Cirkin has been linked to transports of military material to Libya in May and June 2020,” said the EU’s Official Journal, which published the sanctions.

In addition to the sanctions on the Turkish company, the EU also imposed sanctions on two Libyan men with immediate effect.
