Former MI6 head Richard Dearlove advised the Telegraph that Prigozhin’s demise was “unsurprising.”

“I’m sure it’ll be presented as an accident and there will be an element of doubt, but everyone in the West will come to the same conclusion-that this is Putin’s revenge on people who challenge his power base,” he added.

The Russian Federal Air Transport Agency introduced late Wednesday that an Embraer-135 plane crashed in Russia’s Tver area whereas flying from Moscow to St. Petersburg, killing all 10 passengers on board, together with three crew members.

The company launched investigations into the incident, whereas Russia’s Investigative Committee stated in an announcement on Telegram that it opened a legal case on the premise of “violation of traffic safety rules and operation of air transport.”

Prigozhin made headlines in June when he launched an “armed rebellion” in opposition to the Russian management earlier than rapidly aborting it after a deal brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
