A few hours before the plane of Yevgeny Prigozhin, which crashed in the Tver region, left the airport, two strangers boarded the plane. This is reported by MK with reference to its own sources.

According to the publication, the owner wanted to sell the airplane. In the morning of August 23, a man and a woman, who identified themselves as representatives of the buyer, came to Sheremetyevo airport, where the plane was Embraer 135BJ Legacy 600. They inspected the plane, accompanied by the manager and co-pilot Rustam Karimov, who also died in the crash.

The outsiders were on board for about an hour. Before the meeting, they sent their passport data, and also passed the inspection in Sheremetyevo.

Recall, Embraer Legacy business jet crashed on August 23 in the north of the Tver region. All 10 passengers and crew members on board died.

Their bodies have been sent for examination, after which the names of the dead will be officially announced. The chairman of the Zaporizhzhya public movement "We are together with Russia", Volodymyr Rogov, believes that the cause of the crash may be an explosive planted on board the plane.
