Russian agents’ threat to family made Prigozhin call off Moscow advance

Do I believe the telegraph?
Fair enough to wait for a better source, but I'm seeing this in other places too, citing "UK intelligence sources".
But, and this is confirmation bias speaking, this was exactly my guess when I first heard he'd turned around: "guess some family member that he cares about didn't make themselves quite scarce enough and Putins guys have them."
The only reason I don't believe this is, every well-informed Russian knows to hide their family and friends before doing something like this.
And Prigozhin having any kind empathy.
