A plane crash that resulted in the death of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin earlier this year could have been caused by hand grenades detonating inside the aircraft, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Thursday, following speculation over the cause of the crash and whether Russian officials were involved in the death of one of Putin’s chief domestic foes.
Putin did not clarify how the grenades could have been detonated, but said he believed that alcohol and drug tests should have been carried out on the bodies of those who died in the crash, claiming traces of cocaine were previously discovered at Wagner’s office in St. Petersburg.that the leading theory of the plane crash was an explosion aboard, which could have been caused by a bomb or other methods, including a device planted on the aircraft or “adulterated” fuel.
