Kremlin Representative Dmitry Peskov said that the criminal case on the armed rebellion against the founder of the Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin would be dropped.
“The criminal case against Prigozhin would be dropped, he himself would go to Belarus. I can’t answer what he will do there,” Peskov said.
The criminal case against Prigozhin became known last night. Under article 279 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on organizing an armed rebellion, he was threatened with 12 to 20 years in prison.
