AKIPRESS.COM - Four people survived the crash of the Falcon 10 private plane in Afghanistan, the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency reported with reference to the Russian embassy.
"Local ground search and rescue found the Falcon 10 aircraft (registration number RA-09011). Of the six people on board the plane, four are alive (they have various injuries); the fate of two people is being clarified," the Federal Air Transport Agency said.
After the crash of a plane with Russians on board, the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case into violation of traffic safety rules and operation of air transport, which through negligence resulted in the death of two or more people (Part 3 of Article 263 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
The plane belonged to the Russian company Athletic Group and a private individual; the plane was performing a charter ambulance flight on the route Gaya (India) - Tashkent (Uzbekistan) - Zhukovsky (Russia). According to preliminary data, the cause of the crash was the failure of two engines, TASS and REN TV sources reported.
There were six people on board: four crew members and two passengers. The passengers were a businessman from Volgograd, Anatoly Evsyukov, and his wife Anna. The plane carried out a “private medical evacuation” of Anna Evsyukova, accompanied by her husband.

It is not always illegal to do an operation that colours close to charter, but these clowns would not likely be interested in any compliance to the ICAO norms of Annex 6 Part I.
Shame, that was a nice DA10, MSN 128 IIRC.
Looking at the registration from the FAA, it was registered with the FAA in August 22 and de registered in September 23. I had info on it in July 22 on what would have been the temporary FAA registration pink-slip/flywire. It is curious that the registration has been reserved still by the same DE entity, so it may be that the plane was never sold to Russia, this may be a lease of the aircraft, in which case, good luck getting the rubles out of Russia. The earlier owners were in Morocco, and they had a nice fleet of Falcon 10 (incl MSN 120) and Falcon 20's. Their planes were pretty nicely kept by the records they provided.

Some news say both pilots were a co-owners of this aircraft along with a spouse of one of them. Criminal investigation is open and all of them facing about 10 years in jail…. If so I would bet 99.99% it was not the first time they flew it commercially without having AOC nor ATPL…

With a PPL, 2400 hours total time, minimal time on type and not being properly rested, I doubt the Captains decision making skills were at the required level. Any flight which operates near the envelope of an aircraft’s capabilities needs careful monitoring and the crew need to be ready with an alternative plan if things don’t go as expected.
A reputable operator would have provided suitably qualified and experienced crew, and not pushed the aircraft’s performance to its limit.

Notwithstanding the other issues, the choice of Zhukovsky as the destination airport with an apparently seriously ill passenger seems an odd one, Zhukovsky is miles from anywhere, and certainly a half-decent hospital. The best private hospital in Moscow is the Botkin, and the nearest airport would be Sheremetyevo, but perhaps the checking there would be more rigorous than Zhukovsky...
