Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is Presumed Dead after appearing on The Passenger list of a private jet that crashed north of The Russian capital, Moscow.

Prigozhin was a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his private Military company has played a key role in Ukraine following Moscow's invasion in February 2022.

Russian aviation officials confirmed the aircraft, an Embraer Legacy , was flying between Moscow and St Petersburg when it crashed in the Tver region, north of Moscow on Wednesday evening.

Prigozhin has kept a relatively Low Profile since his short-lived mutiny against Russia's top Military commanders who he had repeatedly criticised for their strategy in Ukraine.

Mr Putin later accused him of treason.

Under a deal to end the rebellion, charges against him were dropped and he was offered a move to Belarus. His whereabouts since have been the subject of intense speculation.

In The Past week Prigozhin released his first video statement since June's abortive rebellion, which suggested he was in Africa.

The Bbc has not been able to verify where the video was filmed.

What else have The Authorities said?

According to Russia's investigative committee, a criminal investigation has been launched into The Cause of The Crash under Article 263 of Russia's criminal code, which governs traffic safety and the operation of air transport.
