Yevgeny Prigozhin, the polarizing leader of the Wagner mercenary group, has been confirmed deceased following a plane crash near Moscow. Genetic examinations conducted by Russia’s investigative committee have identified the 62-year-old and nine other passengers from the aviation board’s list as victims of the crash.
Prigozhin’s notoriety stems from his involvement with the Wagner private military company, which has played a significant role in Russia’s actions in Ukraine. While the circumstances of his death are now known, there remains speculation surrounding the incident, considering the complexity of his history and relationships.
However, skepticism lingers regarding the transparency of the investigation process, with suspicions that external influences might have influenced the conclusions drawn from the genetic examinations. The lack of independent verification of the crash details adds to the intrigue surrounding this incident.
