Russian officials and the Wagner Group have yet to officially confirm the fate of Yevgeniy Prigozhin, after an Embraer business jet listing the mercenary group chief among its passengers crashed northwest of Moscow, killing all 10 on board, according to Russia’s civil aviation agency. Once a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prigozhin led a dramatic abortive mutiny in June, falling out of favor and lying low since. On Thursday morning, pieces of the jet — including what appeared to be its tail — lay more than a mile from the primary crash site.
