Putin Makes Dubious Claims About Prigozhin Plane Crash

Putin claimed Prigozhin's plane may have crashed due to grenades & cocaine use by those onboard

Putin said investigators found no "external impact" but fragments of hand grenades in bodies

Putin suggested Prigozhin's group may have been intoxicated and killed themselves

Putin said no drug/alcohol tests were done but 5kg of cocaine was found in Prigozhin's offices

Claims unlikely to dispel suspicions the Kremlin ordered the assassination of Prigozhin
