Russia has informed Brazil’s aircraft investigation authority that it will not probe the crash of the Brazilian-made Embraer jet that killed mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin under international rules “at the moment.”

    Don’t worry Brazil, it wasn’t your plane that caused the accident. Just give them another few months to finish cleaning up any of the evidence and they’ll tell you the story they want you to hear.

      Whoa there, of course this is Brazil’s fault! Their plane couldn’t even withstand a few anti-aircraft missiles. How can Russia be blamed for that? /s

    Embraer is one of the safest jets in the world with virtually no accidents regarding its engineering and design outside of the accidents that were caused by pilot error, a hidden explosive in the engine, etc.

    Eh what’s to investigate? We all know the plane was deliberately bought down to remove specific people from existence. Even blind Freddy knows this.

        A person who contributes nothing positive to society kills another person who contributes nothing positive to society.

        Happens everywhere. When criminals kill each other the police put the subsequent investigation into “don’t give a shit” basket. Same concept.

        It would be no loss to society if no investigation is done.

            If there was innocents like the MH17 flight involved I would feel completely differently. But Pringles was no saint, far from it.

            These things an enemy of my enemy is still my enemy not my friend.

            The only people I would feel sorry for would be the pilot and flight attendant, but one has to ask how did they get the job in the first place? On a private Wagner plane. If it was a charter from a separate company then I can understand. Maybe that’s the part worth investigating.

            Pringozhin wouldn’t have let untrusted pilot and crew near him, so the crew may not have been as innocent as they look.

              I feel like it’s not about whether he was innocent or not.

              It’s about investigating so we have a clearer picture of what happened. Evidence is always preferable to speculation.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    He died two months to the day after staging a brief mutiny against the Russian defense establishment that posed the biggest challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s rule since he rose to power in 1999.

    Brazil’s Center for Research and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (CENIPA), in the interests of improving aviation safety, had said it would join a Russian-led investigation if it were invited and the probe held under international rules.

    Russia’s aviation authority was not obligated to say yes to CENIPA, but some former investigators said it should, as the U.S. and other Western governments suspect the Kremlin of being behind the Aug. 23 crash of the Embraer Legacy 600, which has a good safety record.

    “They are not obliged, only recommended to do that,” CENIPA head Air Brigadier Marcelo Moreno told Reuters after the agency sent an email last week asking Russia whether it would open such a probe.

    CENIPA said in an emailed statement it got the response from the Interstate Aviation Committee - Commission on Accident Investigation (IAC) on Tuesday, with the Russian authority saying it would not open for now a probe under Annex 13.

    CENIPA and manufacturer Embraer want to prevent future accidents but face challenges in getting information from the investigation due to sanctions on Russia and Moscow’s reluctance to allow outside scrutiny.
