Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was killed in a plane crash last week along with ten people.
Moscow:
Russia has told Brazil’s aviation authority it will not open an investigation “at this time” into the plane crash that killed mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin under international rules, the Brazilian agency told Reuters on Tuesday.
Prigozhin, two top lieutenants of his Wagner Group and four bodyguards were among the ten people killed when the Brazilian-made Embraer plane crashed north of Moscow last week. He died two months a day after staging a brief mutiny against Russia’s defense establishment that posed the biggest challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s rule since he came to power in 1999.
