DNA testing of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin's downed plane has confirmed that he was on board, Russian authorities say.
Testing also confirmed the death of everyone else on the passenger list, including the alleged military head of Wagner, Dmitry Utkin. The investigation appears to put to rest any suspicions that Prigozhin may have switched planes at the last minute."As part of the investigation of the plane crash in the Tver region, molecular genetic examinations have been completed.
Though Russian President Vladimir Putin is widely suspected to be responsible for the crash, the exact method of the downing of the plane remains a mystery. Putin, for his part, declined to have any involvement, heaping measured praise on Prigozhin and saying he would see what the investigation concluded.
