Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin
responded to Defence Minister Guido Crosetto's claim that the
Russian mercenary group was driving migration from several
African countries to Italy by saying that the group did not deal
with migrants.
"Crosetto should look less in other directions and deal with his
problems, which he probably has not managed to solve. We are not
au fait with what is happening with the migratory crisis, we
don't deal with it, we have a heap of problems of our own to
cope with," he said.
Prigozhin called Crosetto a 'mudak', a very insulting Russian
term literally meaning testicle but used to mean dickhead or
asshole.
Crosetto had accused the private Russian company and mercenary
corps of waging a "hybrid war" and boosting emigration from the
African countries where it is present, like Mali, Central
African Republic, Sudan and Libya.
