South African prosecutors have accused Russia of funding and training a South African influencer, Kémi Séba, to stage terror attacks in Europe, according to a Bloomberg report. Séba, also known as Stellio Gilles Robert Capo Chichi, fled to Benin in connection with a failed coup attempt there in December. Benin has requested his extradition to South Africa.
Prosecutors allege that Séba, his son, and van der Merwe, the leader of South Africa's white nationalist movement, the Bittereinders, planned to cross the Limpopo River into Zimbabwe and receive assistance from Russian-backed guards to execute their terrorist plans in Europe and the UK. Russian authorities reportedly provided Séba with financial support for his journey to Europe, where he was allegedly trained by Russian operatives and involved in anti-Western propaganda campaigns.
Séba, a former Black nationalist leader in France, has ties to multiple Russian-backed organizations and has been charged with money laundering, terrorism, and attempting to flee the country.
