In June 2017, the Wagner PMC was included in the US sanctions list. The investigation of the Wagner PMC activities in the CAR was carried out by journalists Orkhan Dzhemal, Alexander Rastorguev and Kirill Radchenko, who died during the investigation in the country.

In 2019, Dossier and MBKh-Media reported on a film being prepared by Prigozhin’s structures about the work of the PMC in the CAR, which depicted the activities of the Wagner Group as peacekeeping.
