Yevgeny Prigozhin's Death: Kremlin alludes its involvement in the downing of Prigozhin's plane

The Kremlin said yesterday that investigators were still considering the possibility that the plane carrying mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was downed on purpose, the first explicit acknowledgement that he may have been assassinated.

When asked about the investigation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that "It is obvious that different versions are being considered, including the version - you know what we are talking about - let’s say, a deliberate atrocity".

Asked if the International Civil Aviation Organisation would investigate the crash, Peskov said that the circumstances made it different, though he cautioned that investigators had made no formal conclusions yet about what exactly took place.
