Putin says "hand grenade fragments" were found in remains of dead people from Wagner boss's crashed plane
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that it was not an "external" attack that led to the crash of the plane carrying Wagner boss Eugen Prigozhin in August, but hand grenades on the plane. At the Valdai Forum in Sochi, Putin said: “The chairman of the Investigative Committee announced just a few days ago that fragments of hand grenades were found in the bodies of the victims. According to him, there was no outside influence on it." Plane, that's a proven fact. Prigozhin, who led a failed uprising against the Kremlin, was one of ten people aboard a private plane en route to St Petersburg crashed in a field northwest of Moscow.
The Russian leader, whose government denies any involvement in the crash, gave no details on how the grenades aboard the plane might have exploded, but said investigators needed to examine the victims' bodies for drugs and alcohol. “I repeat, in my opinion, such an investigation should have been carried out, but it did not happen,” he said, also pointing out that Russian security forces had already found “10 billion in cash and 5 kilograms of cocaine” in Wagner's office.
