Prigozhin associate Dmitry Syty, the head of the Russia House culture center in the Central African Republic (CAR), published on Telegram a photo of Prigozhin with a CAR representative on July 27 that he says was taken at the meeting. Fontanka reported the photo was taken at the Trezine Hotel, owned by Prigozhin’s family.

Prigozhin’s whereabouts have been shrouded in mystery since the mutiny, though he is believed to be moving between Russia and Belarus.
