A Russian criminal case against mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin for mutiny remains open and is still being investigated, the Kommersant newspaper and Russia's three main news agencies reported on Monday, citing unidentified sources.

President Vladimir Putin on Saturday vowed to crush what he called a treasonous mutiny after Prigozhin said his Wagner Group fighters had taken control of the southern city of Rostov and were heading to Moscow on what he said was a "march for justice" intended to remove corrupt and incompetent Russian commanders.

Under a deal mediated by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko that defused the crisis late on Saturday, the Kremlin said a criminal case against Prigozhin would be dropped and he would move to Belarus.

Russia’s three main news agencies - TASS, RIA and Interfax - also reported that the criminal case against Prigozhin remained open and that the investigation was continuing.

“The criminal case against Prigozhin has not stopped,” TASS cited a source close to the prosecutor’s office as saying. “The investigation is ongoing.”

I hope that I live long enough to read the military history books about this war. I want full color plates of uniforms and equipment. Photos and listings of all the new weapons.
I want logistics tables and big ass battle maps. President Trump needs to stop it, so the books can be published, I ain’t got all day.

Prigozhin is reportedly a career criminal, not a military man. Only a career criminal could think he could retreat from an action like this and receive clemency. Once he openly betrayed a dictator like Putin, it was either win or die.

Well, yeah, he’s got some explaining to do, as he threatened to overthrow his government nearly as much as the Jan 6th bunch.

“Prigozhin is back on his soapbox today doing the explaining...”

I guess people are ignoring the rope around his neck?
