The Mysterious Fate of Wagner Chief Prigozhin: Conspiracy Theories and Kremlin's Admission
A Russian political analyst, Dr Valery Solovey, claims that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the private military company Wagner, is still alive and that his body double was killed in a recent plane crash. Solovey alleges that the assassination attempt was sanctioned by President Putin and that Prigozhin is now plotting his revenge. He also claims that Prigozhin has access to £1.6 billion in bitcoin. The Russian Investigative Committee has confirmed Prigozhin's death in the crash, but Solovey insists that he will reveal Prigozhin's location next month and that he intends to show himself by the end of the year. The Kremlin has denied any involvement in the crash.
