One of Russia's richest women has died in a light aircraft crash in Germany.
Airline tycoon Natalia Fileva, 55, the co-owner of Russian carrier S7, was on board a six-seater plane which crashed and exploded near Frankfurt today.
German police said there appeared to be three people on board the plane, including the pilot of the flight, which originated in France.
Two more people are believed to have died in a collision with a police vehicle which was responding to the scene.
Business publication Forbes.ru estimated Ms Fileva's fortune at $600million (£460million), calling her Russia's fourth-richest woman.

Wow—fourth richest at $600M?
Sounds like the men have all the real fortunes in Russia!
You know, when the press talks about something that I know about, I am always struck by the errors they make. In the headline, the plane is a “private jet.” In the first part of the article it is a 6-place light aircraft. Later it is Identified as an Epic LT.
The Epic LT is a turboprop powered by a Pratt and Whitney PT6. Epic does make a “pure jet, too. The prop emerging out of the wreckage in one of the pictures pretty well confirms that it is indeed, an Epic LT.
This is the woman
+1.

Maybe it is, but she has that "Sh*t! Is that Hillary behind me???" look...
Putin is not getting her stock after her death...her heirs will...not sure how you think Russia works...
I see what you did there.
I saw the light.
Besides, I have all of Columbo on DVD.
The Pratt&Whitney Canada PT6A engine is a very popular and well regarded engine, found on many of the top single-engine GA & Ag aircraft like the Pilatus 12, Air Tractor(s) and Piaggios.
Looks more like the body double PIAPS used after one of her "spells" to make a public appearance of good health.
Which one of the inner circle of oligarchs got upset with her?
It’s not smart to piss off the Tsar.
What did she know about Hillary!, hmmmm?
She must been behind on her payments to Putin.
All over in a second.
I always try to sit near the front of the plane. That way Im one of the first at the scene of the crash!
That is Hillary!
Was she Hillarys double during the 2016 campaign? If so, I would suspect Arkancide.
Anybody check to see if Fileva "owed" PIAPS anything?
Putin: the Russian equivalent of Bill and Hillary.
Did she piss off Putin and/or the KGB/FVB?
