Ten killed in private jet crash north of Moscow - Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin 'on passenger list'
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ten people have been killed in a private jet crash north of Moscow - with the Russian Civil Aviation Authority saying Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list.
Seven passengers and three crew were on board the Embraer aircraft, TASS news agency reported, which was en route from Moscow to St Petersburg.
The rebellion ended when Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stepped in to broker a deal - which saw Prigozhin agreeing to relocate to neighbouring Belarus.
Former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele said this is not the first time he is believed to have been in Africa since his failed armed rebellion in June, and this sort of incident was “inevitable”.
Once a close confidant of Vladimir Putin, Prigozhin often lambasted the likes of defence minister Sergei Shoigu and top general Valery Gerasimov in public addresses over their handling of the Ukraine invasion.
Prigozhin founded Wagner, a private military company whose fighters have deployed in support of Moscow’s allies in countries including Syria, Libya and the Central African Republic, in 2014.

Push 40 people out a window in one day and people ask questions even in Russia…
One plane going down is a lot easier to handwave.
The only thing that would have made this better is if the plane had landed on Putin. But that's just wishful thinking.
We do know that the next coup attempt against Putin will not be called off, they know Putin won't keep his word now. (They should have known that from the beginning)
this is a barbaric act with no regard for human life.
It’s Russia, were you surprised?
