CHEERS! Did Putin Hide an Explosive Wine Crate in Prigozhin’s Plane? [DETAILS]

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.24.23

The latest theory: Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane was taken down by an explosive wine crate.

According to a report from The New York Post, Prigozhin’s plane experienced zero issues before all of a sudden falling from the sky into a fiery blaze.

“Whatever happened, happened quickly,” according to Ian Petchenik of the flight-tracking site Flightradar24. “They may have been wrestling [with the aircraft] after whatever happened.”

Social media suspects President Putin may have played a role in Prigozhin’s. President Biden said on Wednesday that not much goes on in Russia without Putin’s knowledge.

Then there’s the wine crate theory.

From The New York Post:

Since news of the plane crash broke Wednesday, there has been furious speculation about its cause and who may have targeted Prigozhin — less than two months after he was labeled a “traitor” by Russian President Vladimir Putin for leading a short-lived mutiny against his top military brass.

One of the theories spreading on Russian social media sites is that a bomb had been planted onboard Prigozhin’s plane, possibly concealed inside a crate of wine, reported the Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, which is linked to Russian security services.

“Supposedly someone testified that at the very last moment, a certain gift consisting of a crate of expensive wine was loaded unto the plane,” wrote VChK-OGPU. “And now they are looking into claims that the crate may have contained a bomb.”
