Russian state media says mercenary chief Prigozhin was in plane crash north of Moscow

NBC-

Russian state media reported on Wednesday that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary group who led an aborted mutiny earlier this year, was listed as a passenger on a jet that crashed north of Moscow.

NBC News was not able to confirm the news.

Prigozhin was among the seven passengers aboard an Embraer business jet that went down in the Tver region, the Federal Air Transport Agency told the Tass state news agency.

“According to the Federal Air Transport Agency, an investigation has been launched into the Embraer crash,” RIA Novosti reported. “Among the passengers is the name and surname of Evgeny Prigozhin.”

Three pilots also died, Tass said, adding that the agency had launched an investigation into the crash.

Russian officials were not immediately available for comment.

  1. It must be a Putincide, I see that Putin learned from the best in the Clintons how to get rid of his enemies. Other than that, how he also learned his Stalinist tactics from being the ex-head of the KGB. It’s best not to piss off either the Clinton’s or Vlad if you don’t want to unexpectedly turn up dead from unnatural causes.

  2. Bet Prigozhin had lots of “Weekend at Bernie’s” moments before he “boarded” that plane. Putin probably solved the problem that was Prigozhin weeks ago…permanently. Putin, who considered the timing for some reason, possibly staged the plane crash to pretend Prigozhin’s fate was in his own hands. Epic fail. Only Demwits and the leftist media think this plane crash was an accident.
