Prosecuting those responsible for shooting down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine, killing all 298 passengers and crew — 193 of them Dutch — is a key priority for the Netherlands, the justice minister said Thursday.
The Boeing 777 was shot down over war-torn eastern Ukraine in July last year.
Kiev and the West have claimed that separatists, using a BUK surface-to-air missile supplied by Russia, were responsible, a charge denied by Moscow, which has in turn pointed the finger at Kiev.
"Now that we are at an advanced stage of the repatriation mission, the (criminal) investigation and prosecution will occupy a more central place," Dutch Justice Minister Ard van der Steur, said in a statement.
Van der Steur and Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders met Thursday on the sidelines of a cyber security summit in The Hague with delegates from countries affected by the disaster, including Malaysia and Australia as well as Ukraine.
The Netherlands has taken the lead in the investigation into the cause of the incident and identifying the victims of the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur......AFP.......timesofindia.indiatimes.com
