Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a plane which crashed in Russia, killing all 10 on board.
According to Dailymail on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, the plane was seen in a video falling out of the sky in the Bologovsky district in the Tver region. The burning wreckage was later seen in a field.
It was initially unknown if Wagner chief Prigozhin – known as Putin’s chef and with longstanding links to the Kremlin dictator – was on board, but it has since been reported that he was and has been killed.
A report from Rosaviatsiya – the Russian aviation agency – said Prigozhin was among the passengers.
Reports said at least nine people were on board the Embraer Legacy 600 business jet, but a later report citing the Russian Emergencies Ministry said ten had been killed.
Prigozhin was the leader of a failed uprising against the Russian military in June.
