Dutch courtroom docket convicts 2 Russians, 1 Ukrainian in 2014 downing of MH17 | World Info

A Dutch courtroom docket has convicted two Russians and a Ukrainian of the murders of 298 people who died inside the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airways flight MH17 over Ukraine. One Russian was acquitted for lack of proof.

Presiding Determine Hendrik Steenhuis acknowledged that proof provided by prosecutors at a trial that lasted better than two years proved that the Boeing 777 flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was launched down by a Buk missile fired by pro-Moscow Ukrainian rebels on July 17, 2014.

Not one of many defendants appeared for the trial that began in March 2020 and in the event that they’re convicted, it’s unlikely they're going to serve any sentence anytime rapidly. Prosecutors had sought life sentences for all 4. Prosecutors and the suspects have two weeks to file an attraction.
