Expert warns body double of Wagner boss Prigozhin may have been on board crashed jet

Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin is believed to have died in a fiery plane crash over in the Tver region, northwest of Moscow, although there are doubts he was aboard

Anyone rejoicing at Wagner Boss Yevgeny Prigozhin dying in a fiery plane crash should hold back on the fireworks as one expert has warned it could have been a body double.

The notorious mercenary boss, whose gang of blood thirsty soldiers has been blamed for war crimes from Ukraine to Mali, is ‘ feared’ dead in a plane crash along with 10 people on board. The Russian Civil Aviation Authority tonight officially claimed Prigozhin and his right hand man Dmitry Utkin were on board the plane, while the Wagner-affiliated Grey Zone Telegram channel also said their leader’s body was found in the wreckage.

This came after the 62-year-old billionaire led a coup against Vladimir Putin ‘s Russian regime exactly two months ago and had been warned that his life was in danger. Putin has long reacted brutally to betrayals.

One expert has said it might not have been Prigozhin on board, even if it was his name on the passenger list. Keir Giles, Senior Consulting Fellow of the Russia and Eurasia Programme, Chatham House, told the US Mirror to “not be surprised if he pops up shortly in a new video from Africa.”
