It is not the first time that news about the death of the head of Wagner PMC has appeared in the media space. However, this is the first time that reports about the death of the businessman have been indirectly confirmed by an official body, The Federal Air Transport Agency Rosaviatsia.

This is reported by the Current Time Telegram channel. Prigozhin's death is also confirmed by his entourage.

According to the source, the media and Telegram channels wrote about the alleged death of the owner of Wagner PMC in Popasnaya, Luhansk region of Ukraine about a year ago. Photos of Prigozhin posing appeared soon and later the businessman himself was seen in the public field.

Before that, Prigozhin "died" in Africa. On October 11, 2019, an An-72 military cargo plane crashed in Congo. Eight crew members, among whom were employees of the administration of the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo Felix Tshisekedi, were on board.

Later, according to the source, there was information that Prigozhin was also on the fallen airliner. This information was also not confirmed: there were indeed Russians on board, but not the owner of the Wagner.

As reported by OBOZREVATEL, the accident occurred in the Bologovo district of the Tver region, 15 kilometers from the Khotilovo airbase. Currently, 4 dead bodies were found at the site. A total of 10 people were on the plane: 7 passengers and 3 crew members. Yevgeny Prigozhin could have been on board.
