The Kremlin said today that it was satisfied with the pace of the investigation into the plane crash that killed the owner of the private military company “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin, although more than three weeks after the incident, the reasons are still unclear, AFP reported .
Prigogine had fallen out of favor and was considered a traitor by Russian President Vladimir Putin for organizing a failed coup attempt on June 23.
Two months later, the leader of the mercenaries died along with his top aides in the crash of his private jet.
Ukraine and the West are promoting the version of revenge on the part of the Kremlin – something that Moscow denies, but has not yet announced the reasons for the crash of the plane, which was on a flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
“We definitely don’t think the investigation is too slow,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today during his daily press conference.
“This investigation is not simple, this is not a simple incident and therefore to comment on it would be completely premature,” the spokesman said.
The plane’s black boxes were found almost immediately, and its fall was filmed, according to AFP.
Russian investigators have so far not indicated whether they are considering the versions of murder, technical problem or human error, and the only investigation opened so far is into a violation of air safety rules, BTA reported.
