“Research has recovered the black boxes. The detailed study of the accident site continues.reported the CIR to local agencies.

He added that they are also retrieving different objects and documents that are essential “to clarify the circumstances of the air disaster”.

The local press had speculated that someone had stolen the black boxes in order to prevent it from being clarified whether it was a murder, as the independent Russian press unanimously considers.

In turn, the CIR explained that in order to identify the occupants of the device, they will have to carry out “molecular genetic testing” (of DNA). “At the scene of the accident, ten bodies were found,” added.

Due to the impact of the plane Prigozhin against land, in the central region of Tverbetween Moscow and St. Petersburgthe three crew members and the seven passengers were charred.

The Kremlin flatly denied today the “speculations” that the Russian president, Vladimir Putinbe behind the tragedy.

“It’s all a lie”, said the spokesman of the Russian Presidency, Dmitry Peskovin his first telematic press conference after a hiatus of almost three weeks.

“When addressing this issue you have to base yourself on facts,” indicated while acknowledging that these, for the moment, “Not many”because there is an investigation going on.

Meanwhile, official US sources informed the newspaper Wall Street Journal that the catastrophe was, in reality, an assassination, but not with a surface-to-air missile -something that the Pentagon has also ruled out-, but rather sabotage with a bomb placed on the aircraft.

Putin broke his silence yesterday about the plane crash Prigozhinwhom he said he had known for 30 years and whose figure he praised, and stressed that the technical and genetic tests carried out by the specialists will require “some time”.

The Russian leader accused him of treason when the wagner boss revolted two months ago and arrived with his troops some 200 kilometers from Moscowbut later received him in the Kremlin and agreed that he would transfer his mercenaries to belarus.

In this regard, the Belarusian president, Alexander Lukashenko assured today that for the Russian authorities “it didn’t make any sense” liquidate to Prigozhin and also ruled out the involvement of the head of the Kremlin.

“For a head of state, that is crazy. And he’s not crazy.”he asserted and dismissed as “inadmissible” if it is confirmed that it was a murder.
