The Russian Federal Air Transport Agency said in a statement on Wednesday that Yevgeny Prigozhin was among the victims of a plane crash..
Ten people died in the crash of this Embraer plane from the Russian capital to Saint Petersburg, added TASS, stating that the aircraft was carrying seven passengers and three crew members. Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list, reported the news agency.
Since the failed rebellion of his paramilitary militia, the 25 last june, Yevgeny Prigozhin was seen as an enemy within and knew he was in danger. Information about his precise whereabouts was very scarce.. A blow in Belarus, another in St. Petersburg. He had published, these last hours, a video that appeared to have been shot in Africa.
