Prigozhin's Return to Russia: Spies, Mutiny, and Cold Exile
TL;DR
German intelligence service, BND, reportedly listened in on negotiations between Yevgeny Prigozhin and Alexander Lukashenko, where they discussed stopping the Wagner Group's march towards Moscow. The BND had prior knowledge of a possible uprising led by the Wagner chief but did not inform the chancellor's office due to lack of verification. This contradicts German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's previous statement that BND had no prior knowledge of the uprising.
