Prigozhin may have been publicly excused, but experts warn he should watch his back

The Wagner Group’s rebellion against the Kremlin shocked the world recently as it ended as quickly as it had begun.

However, it came as no surprise to U.S. intelligence agencies that had been watching the tension growing for days.

And for a moment, it looked like they would march on Moscow.

While he may have been publicly exonerated in exchange for retreating from the capital, Prigozhin is still likely a wanted man, said Keith Suter, global futurist.

“[Prigozhin] has gone into exile somewhere, but he is still obviously on the hit list for the FSB (Russian national police),” he said, “they’re going to go after him.”

Suter cited the poisoning of the former Russian military officer, Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skripal, by the FSB in Salisbury, England in 2018, as an example of the lengths the agency will go to.
