Second jet spotted after Prigozhin crash sparks rumors Wagner boss faked his death

Conspiracy theories that Wagner boss Yevengy Prigozhin may still be alive have started to gain traction after a second private jet linked to the mercenary leader was spotted flying to Moscow.

Prigozhin, who led a failed coup against the Kremlin’s top brass less than two months ago, was listed as one of 10 passengers aboard the Embraer aircraft that crashed on Wednesday with no survivors.

While a Telegram channel linked to Wagner shared news of the fatal crash, the Kremlin and the Defence Ministry have not commented, prompting rumors that Prigozhin faked his death.

Speculation has grown that Prigozhin may have evaded the fiery fate after news spread that a second private jet linked to the Wagner group landed safely in St. Petersburg around the same time as the crash.

Footage showed the second jet — an Embraer ERJ-135BJ Legacy 650 aircraft — landing safely at Ostafyevo airport, The Sun reported.
