While some media in the country had previously said that the amount of 1.2 million dollars was stolen from the Falcon that made an emergency landing in Badakhshan, the pilot of this plane in Moscow denied this news and said: "There was no money on the plane. You must remember the mentality of the Afghan people. "They came to help us."

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Pilot Arkady Grachev, one of the survivors of the plane that crashed in Afghanistan, considers the cause of this accident to be a technical defect that led to the problem of refueling in this plane.
 
He told reporters: "The cause of the crash was a technical fault. It is most likely a fueling problem due to the presence of ice that disrupted the flow of the main tanks to the feeder tanks."
 
Grachev noted that the pilots were taking steps to prepare the plane for an emergency landing until the last minute before the forced landing.
 
He added: "We were busy with emergency landing procedures; "We determined the most favorable place for it to land and we found such a place, a flat mountain slope."

Four people who survived the plane crash in Afghanistan - two pilots and two doctors - were flown to Moscow on Friday, Grachev told reporters at the Moscow airport. Their plane landed in the morning at the Vonukovo airport.
 
He said that before the emergency landing, they had seen a village from the sky and after landing they knew that they could reach that village.
 
The pilot added that we climbed a high mountain and tried to see where the village was. Then we walked for five hours to get there.
 
According to the pilot, the Afghans reacted emotionally to what happened and even brought home-cooked food to the hospital.
 
He dismissed reports that more than $1 million was stolen from the plane, saying, "There was no money there."
 
Earlier, some of the country's media, citing local sources in Badakhshan, reported that 1.2 million US dollars were stolen from the overturned Russian plane in this province.
 
A claim that was denied by the pilot of this plane.
 
This aircraft was a Falcon 10 flying on the route of India, Uzbekistan and Russia.
 
The Russian Aviation Organization has confirmed that two passengers of this plane, a husband and wife, died.
 
Anna and Anatoly, a Russian couple, went to Thailand for vacation, but Anna's illness during the trip made them return to Moscow by private plane. Russian media have reported that Anatoly was one of the prominent businessmen in the southwest of this country.
 
The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case to investigate the plane crash.
 
Arkady Grachev, the pilot of Falcon 10, confirmed that he and other Barry survivors were summoned to testify before the prosecution.
 
On the evening of January 20, radio contact with Falcon 10 was lost. This plane disappeared from the radars over an area on the border between Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Six people were on this plane on the way from Thailand to Moscow. The Russian Investigative Committee has launched a criminal investigation. On January 21, the Islamic Emirate's Ministry of Transport said rescuers had found the plane and four survivors.
