Russia on Sunday confirmed that Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the mercenary Wagner Group, was among the 10 deaths in a plane crash last week, Anadolu reports.

The identities of all 10 people who died were identified, the statement said, adding that the results were the same as a list published on Wednesday, the night of the crash.
In the crash, an Embraer-135 aircraft went down while traveling from the capital Moscow to St. Petersburg, killing all 10 passengers on board, including Prigozhin.
The agency later released a list of the names of individuals onboard the aircraft, which also included Wagner co-founder Dmitry Utkin and other Wagner personnel.
On Thursday President Vladimir Putin extended his condolences to the families of the victims, calling Prigozhin a “talented man” with a “difficult fate.”
Prigozhin made headlines in June when he launched an “armed rebellion” against the Russian leadership before quickly aborting the effort.
