Yesterday he was in Africa, today one of his planes crashed in Russia, causing the disappearance of 10 people. Mystery on the fate of the head of Wagner: the channels close to the mercenaries deny the disappearance, then announce the death. Silence from the Kremlin

A video of just 24 seconds shot, presumably, in the Central African Republic, where he was recruiting new fighters for his private military company. Camouflage and fisherman’s hat, while he complained about the high temperatures up to 50 degrees: this is the last image and public appearance of the head and founder of the Wagner group Yevgeny Prigozhin.

In a video circulated on the main channels close to the company of Russian mercenaries, Prigozhin claimed to be working to “make our country bigger and bigger on all continents and Africa more and more free”.

24 hours later, in Russia, the obscure businessman from St. Petersburg is once again the protagonist and ends up in newspapers all over the world when the news agencies spread the news that an Embraer 600 plane, departing from Moscow and belonging to his private fleet, crashed in the region of Tver.

Of the 10 people on board, 7 were passengers and 3 were crew. Rescuers have recovered 8 bodies, but on the most important news of all, namely the death of Prigozhin, confirmations are slow in coming.
