A former member of the group says having three senior members on one plane went against all sensible security protocols.
A former member of the notorious Russian Wagner group and one-time assistant to Yevgheny Prigozhin has told Sky News he has been told his former boss is indeed dead.
Marat Gabadullin lives in exile now having left the Wagner network and writes books about his experience in its ranks. "As of now, the information is that he has died," he told Sky News."My sources also confirm this information." Wagner is a shady network of mercenaries, deal makers, ex soldiers and gangsters. It presents itself as a private mercenary corporation, but is in reality a branch of the Russian government, kept at arms length, distant enough to allow the Kremlin to disown its nefarious activities.Now it seems at least three of its most senior figures are dead, incinerated in a plane crash being blamed on their former patron, Vladimir Putin.
