Yevgeny Prigozhin‘s son has been photographed at his father‘s grave as he’s set to inherit the majority of the Wagner boss’ £100million fortune.
Pavel Prigozhin, 25, is reportedly set to become the next leader of his father’s fearsome Russian mercenaries.
It comes just two months on from when a plane carrying Prigozhin crashed close to Moscow, killing Vladimir Putin’s former ally. At the time Prigozhin’s supporters claimed he had been assassinated, likely as revenge for his failed mutiny against the Russian government earlier in the year.
On Sunday (October 1) dozens gathered at Prigozhin’s grave in St Petersburg to pay their respects. Black banners were seen sporting the motto “Blood, Honour, Motherland, Courage” alongside skulls, and similar ceremonies were held in other Russian cities to mark the 40th day since his death.
Pavel was in attendance in St Petersburg alongside Prigozhin’s mother Violetta, 83. Their presence appears to suggest they have accepted Prigozhin was on the plane, following rumours he had somehow escaped death or used a body double.
Pavel is now in line to inherit his father’s vast £100m fortune, which includes the Wagner group and a number of properties.
