The Wagner Group mercenaries had seized the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don on June 28 Almost all the fighters who participated in the mutiny had their faces covered, and so were difficult to identify. However, Reuters used face recognition software & other technology to identify some of the rebel fighters. Watch the video to find out who were the three convicts-turned-wagnerites?
