1:49Now PlayingRussian authorities confirmed that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder and head of the Wagner mercenary group who attempted to lead a rebellion against Russia’s military, was killed in a fiery plane crash outside Moscow last week.
Svetlana Petrenko, a spokesperson for Russia’s Investigative Committee, said in a statement Sunday that forensic and genetic testing identified all 10 bodies recovered from the site of Wednesday’s crash and determined they belonged to those listed on the flight log.
Prigozhin, 62, and some of his top lieutenants were listed on the flight log as passengers and crew aboard the plane, which went down less than 30 minutes into its journey and had no survivors.
The aircraft burst into flames on impact, officials told the state-run media TASS, which has been accused of spreading Russian propaganda during the Ukraine war.
Sunday’s statement did not offer any details about what might have caused the crash.
