Russian military dissident Yevgeny Prigozhin has been reported dead in a fiery private jet crash north of Moscow.
Prigozhin, the leader of the controversial Wagner paramilitary group, was on the passenger list of the Embraer aircraft that went down en route from the Russian capital to St. Petersburg, the TASS new agency said Wednesday, citing unconfirmed reports. Ten people – seven passengers and three crew members – were on board when the jet is believed to have gone down in the Tver region, the agency added.
Prigozhin had led his military group on a mutiny against Putin on June 24, marching toward Moscow before it was called off around 100 miles before he reached the capital and the troops agreed to turn around and head back to the front lines. The crash comes just two days after Prigozhin shared his first video address since his aborted June 24 coup on the Kremlin.
