Telegram channels associated with the private military company Wagner have published posts asking them not to publish “unverified data” about the leadership of the PMC.
We are talking about the channels “Unloading Wagner”, as well as “Prigozhin’s Cap”, which was often used by the founder of PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin for his statements.
“We ask the media and friendly channels of PMC Wagner not to publish unverified data and messages regarding the advice of the commanders of PMC Wagner and the fate of Yevgeny Prigozhin. We are with you,” the message says.
Earlier, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation reported that ten people died during the crash of the Embraer Legacy 600 business jet – three pilots and seven passengers. According to the Federal Air Transport Agency, Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the list of passengers on the plane, which was flying from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Also on board was another founder of the Wagner PMC, GRU veteran Dmitry “Wagner” Utkin.
Telegram channel 112 reported, citing an informed source, that rescuers working in the Tver region at the crash site recovered only eight people from under the wreckage. The source also noted that the bodies found were not identified and the remains would have to be sent for genetic examination to establish identities, as they were burned and badly damaged. Also, among the passengers, the sources name the videographer Prigozhin, the PMC logistician and the businessman’s bodyguards.
The Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case on the fact of an aviation accident in the Tver region under Article 263 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (violation of traffic safety rules and the operation of air transport).
