Today, 3 years ago, 298 people died in the MH17 disaster in the Ukraine. In fact, the airplane was shot out of the air by a Russian buk missile. Both the Russians and the Ukrainians say, they have nothing to do with it, but there is so much evidence that a lawsuit against the perpetrators in the Netherlands is starting soon.
On July 17, 2014, Malaysian Airlines's plane came down in eastern Ukraine. At the disaster, 298 people were killed, including 196 Dutchmen. The plane was hit by an air target missile. An attempt to prosecute suspects through a UN tribunal failed July 29, 2015: Russia voiced a veto in the United Nations Security Council. The Dutch government informed 5 July 2017 that the suspects are being tried in the Netherlands before the Dutch judge.
The investigating authorities of the Netherlands, Belgium, Malaysia, Ukraine and Australia are conducting criminal investigations. When this research is done, it is not known. When the investigation is completed, the Dutch Public Prosecutor's Office will be in a subpoena. It states exactly who is suspected of any criminal offenses.
