Russia to investigate ‘deliberate’ action in Prigozhin plane crash: Kremlin

Russia is considering the possibility of “deliberate” action in its investigation into the air crash that killed Wagner mercenary group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.

However, Moscow will not allow intervention by international authorities, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday.

The possibility of a “deliberate atrocity” is one of many scenarios under consideration, Peskov said.

“As there are still no conclusions [da investigação]I cannot formulate precisely for you [os motivos da queda do avião]. But obviously there are different versions, including the version of, say, a deliberate atrocity,” Peskov said.

His comments came after Russia’s Interstate Aviation Committee reportedly rejected an offer by Brazilian authorities and the aircraft’s manufacturer, Embraer, to participate in the investigation.

The committee said that, as the accident took place on Russian soil, an international investigation is unnecessary, Reuters reported on Tuesday (29), citing the Brazilian agency.

“This is our Russian investigation, so in this case there can be no talk of any international aspect,” Peskov said.
