Forbidden goods gave North Korea millions

new york - North Korea earned nearly 200 million dollars (160 million euros) last year in exporting banned goods. This is shown by a report from the United Nations that was handed to the Security Council.

Despite international sanctions, China, Russia and Malaysia, according to the report, have been guilty of importing coal from North Korea. In addition, the regime in Pyongyang delivered weapons to Syria and Myanmar. Research is also being conducted into a number of oil companies, which are not mentioned in more detail, because of possible deliveries of petroleum products to the country.

The international community has imposed heavy restrictions on North Korea for nuclear testing and missile testing. According to the compilers of the report, almost all products that appear on the UN sanctions list were exported in 2017. Usually goods were delivered with false papers, in which the country of origin was adjusted.
