Progozhin - formerly close to Putin and the boss of Russia s Wagner private army - died in a plane crash in August, months after he launched a failed coup against the Kremlin.
Fragments of a hand grenade were found in the bodies of those who died in the plane crash which killed Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, according to the Russian president.
The explosion that downed a plane carrying Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and nine others in Russia was likely caused by a bomb, two U.S. officials told ABC News on Friday. Another U.S official said the United States believes that a bomb was very likely the cause of the explosion. The Kremlin vehemently denied having any involvement in the mysterious plane crash on Wednesday that presumably killed Prigozhin as well as Wagner Group co-founder Dmitry Utkin.
Russian authorities confirmed on Sunday that the 10 people killed when a private plane crashed north of Moscow on August 23 were those listed on the jet
