Has Prigozhin been seen in public since the withdrawal? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Some sources make it sound like he lead the charge back to field camps, but recent developments make me wonder. Is it possible he actually was captured and made to give orders under duress?

yes he has sent an audio message:

what he is saying is totally bullshit: he says he didn't want to overthrow putler but during the coup he said "there will be a new president soon" after putler called him a traitor

An audio message does not count. He could have a gun to his head. It could be a deepfake, even.

Afaik, that wasn't Prigozhin. It was posted by ap wagner on telegram, which is run by a canadian named Alex Parker

NYTimes says it was Prigozhin. It is odd that it's just audio though. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/world/europe/prigozhin-russia-criminal-case-belarus.html?smid=url-share

Oh, I was referring to the "there will be a new president soon" part, sorry it wasn't clear
