    He’s dead, so stop looking. He’s not in a Russian basement with electrodes on his balls or anything, he’s dead!

    That’s a little quick. They would have needed prior blood samples of each individual on the plane, or blood samples of close relatives of each individual.

    Putin needs it to be believed that Prigozhin was rubbed out because this is part of how he maintains power- through fear.

      Doesn’t seem unlikely that they had blood samples of him, given he was a legitimate military target for the Ukaine long before his falling out of favour with Putin.

      No, they don’t. You don’t even need blood samples to begin with. But even if you did, you don’t need any DNA from the other passengers to confirm Prigozhin’s remains. Also, it’s not quick, it’s a reasonable window of time.

      Hair or saliva is enough to get a fairly accurate DNA sample. The now-KGB would have had no trouble procuring that in the past.

    Russia says

    So he’s definitely (not) dead, right?

      Given that the only man who wanted to kill him and could kill him is Putin, so he’s dead. There’s no reason for him to fake it.

        He could be alive, but there is no real reason for him to not come forward to prove he is alive (Russia would know he didn’t die in that plane after testing)

        So he is dead

      When the news came, he was killed by Putin. Now, he couldn’t be dead, but being tortured in some hell governed by Putin. Quite the propaganda around here.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    MOSCOW, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Russian investigators said on Sunday that genetic tests had confirmed that Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of the Wagner mercenary group, was among the 10 people killed in a plane crash last Wednesday.

    Russia’s aviation agency had previously published the names of all 10 people on board the private jet which crashed in the Tver region northwest of Moscow.

    They included Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin, his right-hand man who helped found the Wagner group.

    The private jet crashed two months to the day after Prigozhin led an abortive mutiny against Russia’s army top brass.

    President Vladimir Putin described that mutiny as a treacherous “stab in the back”, but later met with Prigozhin in the Kremlin.

    He sent his condolences on Thursday to the families of those the aviation agency said had died in the crash.

    Ah, but what’s their story as to why the plane crashed?

    It was an accident. He fell out through a window in the plane

    From the government who was falsifying drug test at the Olympics using their secret service. Right…
