Russian authorities on Sunday confirmed the death of Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, putting to rest any doubts about whether the wily mercenary leader turned mutineer was on a plane that crashed Wednesday, killing everyone on board.
Russian investigators said genetic tests showed that the Wagner chief, Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, who led a brief mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership, was among the victims of a plane crash last week.
Two months ago, Prigozhin mounted a daylong mutiny against Russia's military. President Vladimir Putin decried the act as “treason” and vowed punishment for those involved.
The country’s Investigative Committee said genetic testing had identified all 10 passengers who died aboard a jet that plunged from the skies Wednesday.
The founder of the mercenary group has been confirmed dead by Russian authorities following days of speculation. Investigators say DNA analysis confirmed the identity of ten people who died in a plane crash on Wednesday.
