Yevgeny Prigozhin takes security seriously, using fake names and body doubles to make himself difficult to trace — it's one of the reasons these experts are sceptical about reports of his death.
abc.net.au/news/yevgeny-prigozhin-crash-why-caution-is-needed/102773832Russian warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin has been pronounced dead by authorities and his affiliates, yet some intelligence experts remain deeply sceptical about his fate.What caused the plane to come down remains unclearOne leading analyst said "there's a 90 per cent chance" the Wagner boss was killed when his private jet crashed between Moscow and St Petersburg on Wednesday.
Joanna Szostek, a senior lecturer in political communication at Glasgow University, said the lack of verifiable facts was an issue. Marina Miron, a post-doctoral researcher in war studies, at King's College London, warned the world should be "very cautious" in believing official statements from inside Russia.
"These dry, official statements that get put out everywhere, it's almost sending a message to the Russian public that there's nothing to see here, let's move on," Dr Szostek said.On Wednesday, the Wagner-associated Telegram channel Grey Zone said Prigozhin had been killed by people who were "traitors to Russia".
