Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that explosive traces were found in the remains of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, and his crew after their plane crashed in August. Putin criticized investigators for not conducting alcohol and drug tests on the victims and alleged that cocaine was found at the Wagner offices. Prigozhin had led a rebellion against Russia's military leadership, and the crash is being investigated as a possible premeditated murder. Critics have accused Putin of orchestrating the crash, citing his history of violent deaths, mystery illnesses, and dubious suicides.
