Tonight, a significant step in our tale “298 Counts of Murder” — the hunt for the assailants who shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur in 2014 – will be revealed.
A Russian Buk missile destroyed the Boeing 777 over rebel territory supported by Russia in eastern Ukraine.
Dutch investigators pieced together the wreckage and utilized social media to document the movements of the missile launcher from the Russian site.
A Dutch court earlier this month found three men guilty of murder after a two-year trial. Two of them are former Russian security officers, while the third is a Ukrainian who commanded pro-Russian forces. They were given a life sentence, but Russia will not extradite them to the Netherlands.
