Dutch courts picked as venue for any MH17 crash prosecutions
The 5 countries working together in the investigation of the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014 have picked the Netherlands as the country where suspects will be prosecuted. The choice for the Dutch legal system is an “important step” in the prosecution process as Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Ukraine are continuing their investigation, the Dutch govt said Wednesday. The probe into who can be held responsible is “extensive,” it said. No suspect has been identified so far. “With this decision we are taking a next step on the way to uncover the truth, the prosecution of suspects and satisfaction for the bereaved,” Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte said. “That remains the highest priority for the Dutch govt.” <br/>
