FSB drops charges against Prigozhin for organising armed rebellion

The criminal investigation on the account of the PMC Wagner armed rebellion has been terminated, Interfax cites the FSB.

“During the investigation, it was established that the mutiny participants stopped their action that caused the crime,” the security agency reported.

The Russian Defence Ministry has also reported it is preparing to transfer PMC Wagner’s equipment to the regular Russian military.
