Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group who marched his troops on Moscow not long ago, has apparently been killed in a plane crash. Associated Press reports:
MOSCOW (AP) — A private jet crashed in Russia on Wednesday, killing all 10 people aboard, emergency officials said. Mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list, but it wasn’t immediately clear if he was on board.
Prigozhin’s fate has been the subject of intense speculation ever since he mounted a short-lived mutiny against Russia’s military leadership in late June. The Kremlin said the founder of the Wagner private military company, which fought alongside Russia’s regular army in Ukraine, would be exiled to Belarus.
But the mercenary chief has since reportedly popped up in Russia, leading to further questions about his future.
A plane carrying three pilots and seven passengers that was en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg went down more than 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of the capital, according to officials cited by Russia’s state news agency Tass. It was not clear if Prigozhin was among those on board, though Russia’s civilian aviation regulator, Rosaviatsia, said he was on the manifest.
That’s quite a coincidence.
“That’s quite a coincidence.”
Hey, man.
Millions of dollars found their way through a labyrinth of shell LLC’s to the accounts of notable foreign policy experts including Hunter Biden’s current and ex wives, and Joe Biden’s prodigy international strategic fixers: his grandchildren.
So look. Strange things like this happen.
