Prigozhin, the leader of the controversial Wagner paramilitary group, was on the passenger list of the Embraer aircraft that crashed near the village of Kuzhenkino, 60 miles north of Moscow, the TASS news agency said Wednesday, citing the Federal Agency for Air Transport.
“An investigation of the Embraer plane crash that happened in the Tver Region this evening was initiated. According to the passenger list, first and last name of Yevgeny Prigozhin was included in this list,” the agency stated.
Although it is unclear if Prigozhin boarded the flight, footage of the wreckage shows the last four digits of the aircraft’s registration number are 2795 — a match for the Wagner leader’s plane, which is RA-02795, CNN reported.
The engine color is also similar to Prigozhin’s jet, the outlet said.
