My ‘assumption’ would be that they would not have the capability or authority for an investigation. A similar scenario would be ships flying flags of convenience like Monrovia and Liberia.

That’s an interesting point. I would assume that any country with a national prefix mark, would have to have a Govt Dept responsible for ensuring that it’s safety regulations are adhered to by any operator, using an aircraft with the aforementioned prefix. So I guess that any accident involving, in this case, a VP registered aircraft would be investigated by the Bermudans, in collaboration with the Russians. All assumption on my part, I’d be genuinely interested to know for sure.
Condolences to all concerned.

With regards to the Bermudan registration of the Russian ATR-72, does that mean the Bermudan government is involved in any way with the ongoing aircraft investigation?
