Russia Recovers 10 Bodies And Flight Recorders From Wagner Crash

Russian authorities announced Friday that they had found flight recorders and ten remains from the scene of a jet crash that killed Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin two days ago.

An investigation into what caused Wednesday’s crash, which occurred exactly two months after Wagner’s brief mutiny against Moscow’s military command, is ongoing.

On social media, Russia’s Investigative Committee wrote, “In the course of initial investigative work, the bodies of 10 victims were found at the site of the plane crash”.

“Molecular genetic analyses are being carried out to establish their identities”, it continued, adding that flight recorders were also found at the scene.

Since the crash, which also killed some of Prigozhin’s close associates, many Western countries and Kremlin critics have speculated that the Wagner chief was assassinated.

The Kremlin has denied any involvement, calling the incident ‘tragic’ and dismissing reports of probable foul play as an ‘absolute lie’.

Russian officials claimed they had begun an investigation into infractions of air traffic rules, but have remained mute on what caused the incident.
