The Kremlin announced that the investigation into the plane crash had resulted in the death of its head mercenary WagnerThe Yevgeny Prigozhinand nine other people last week includes the possibility that it was caused by intent. This is the first clear admission by Moscow that Yevgeny Prigozhin may have been murdered.
“It’s clear that various options are being considered, including the option – you know what we’re talking about – of, say, a deliberate atrocity,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “Let’s wait for the results of our Russian investigation.”
The private Embraer jet that Prigozhin was on had departed from Moscow bound for Saint Petersburg when it crashed north of Moscow killing all 10 people on board on August 23, including two other top Wagner executives, four of his bodyguards and a crew of three.
The cause is not yet clear, but residents of villages near the crash site said they heard a bang and then saw the plane plummet to the ground. The plane crashed exactly two months after Prigozhin took control of the southern city of Rostov in late June, starting a mutiny that shocked President Vladimir Putin.
