On 23 August, Prigozhin and nine others including Wagner co-founder Dmitry Utkin were killed in a plane crash as his private jet traveled from Moscow to Saint Petersburg.
It was about the ex-minister of defense, Sergei Shoigu.
This particular rumor is quite dubious, however. He no longer has much political power, if any at all, or resources after his demotion, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense. The rumor was questioned not only by the original article (as far as I remember) but also by the experts and russian opposition.
The part about Putin worrying about his safety, however, feels accurate.
