(Prigozhin Press Service via AP)Russia’s Investigative Committee has confirmed Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was killed in a plane crash. The committee said in a statement on Sunday that genetic testing had identified all 10 bodies recovered at the site of the crash and the findings “conform to the manifest” of the doomed flight. Russia’s civil aviation authority earlier this week said Prigozhin and some of his top lieutenants were on the list of seven passengers and threw crew members that plummeted to the ground halfway between Moscow and St. Petersburg on Wednesday. The 62-year-old Prigozhin was killed two months after he mounted a daylong mutiny against Russia’s military that President Vladimir Putin decried as “treason.”
