[Video] Wagner Chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, Dies In Russian Plane Crash

Yevgeny Prigozhin, who organized a botched mutiny against the Russian Army in June, is believed to have died along with nine other passengers in an aircraft that crashed on Wednesday in Russia.

According to the BBC, Prizoghin, who is also the boss of the mercenary company Wagner, was thought to be traveling aboard the aircraft.

According to the authorities, who are looking into the disaster, the plane crashed in the Tver area, 60 miles north of Moscow.

On Wednesday, Dailymail reported that a video from the Bologovsky neighborhood in the Tver region appeared to show the jet plummeting from the sky. Later, a field contained the flaming debris.

Wagner’s head Prigozhin, referred to as Putin’s chef and having a lengthy history of connections to the Kremlin ruler, was first unknown to have been on board, but it has subsequently been claimed that he was and has since been killed.

Prigozhin was listed as a passenger in a Rosaviatsiya report, the Russian aviation authority.

The 62-year-old mercenary chief led the revolt in June by pulling his soldiers out of Ukraine, taking control of Rostov on Don in southern Russia, and threatening to march on Moscow.

Following months of disagreement over the crisis in Ukraine, the action was taken.
A compromise that enabled Wagner troops to transfer to Belarus or enlist in the Russian army ended the standoff.

Prigozhin has appeared a few times after the mutiny, when he was labeled a “traitor” by Vladimir Putin at the time.

He was last saw in a video that looked to have been shot in Africa on Tuesday.
