Watch: Plane ‘carrying Wagner boss Prigozhin’ lands in Belarus after group’s armed rebellion

Data from a flight tracking website shows a Russian-registered Embraer Legacy 600 jet, which is linked to Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin , flew to Belarus from Russia on Tuesday (June 27).

Flightradar24 showed the business jet, linked to the Russian mercenary chief in US sanctions documents, flew to Belarus early on Tuesday, 27 June.

It comes after the group seized a military headquarters and marched on Moscow, before turning around on Saturday.

Under a deal mediated by Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko to halt a mutiny, Prigozhin is meant to move to Belarus.
