Netherlands Rigged MH17 Inquiry to Push Blame Off Ukraine

Earlier, Moscow called on the Dutch-led team investigating the July 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine to focus on an impartial analysis of available data. Malaysia’s prime minister has called the team’s latest claims a politically-motivated witch hunt against Russia.

Dutch investigators refused to accept potentially groundbreaking new material in the MH17 case from German private investigator Josef Resch, and did not account for his material in their presentation on the case last month, Resch has said.

According to the investigator, his material was rejected by the Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team (JIT) after he asked to make it public.

Resch said his materials included important new information, including audio recordings about air traffic in the area on the day of the incident, recordings of the communications of Ukrainian servicemen, recordings related to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s flight from Brazil to Moscow on the day of the crash, personal recordings of pilots about the incident, and other evidence.



None of this information was used in JIT’s June presentation, which reiterated earlier claims about MH17 being ‘downed by a Russian-made Buk missile’, the investigator said.

“Our highest possible security, if it can be guaranteed at all, can be ensured with a public statement, along with the disclosure of information to the JIT and the prosecutor,” Resch insisted, clarifying that he wants to see a public disclosure of his information out of fear for his life after receiving multiple death threats for his research.

The investigator said he was prepared to reveal the name of his source to JIT investigators, and provide them with other important information, including alleged secret documents previously thought destroyed containing the notes of unnamed high-ranking officials and politicians, and intelligence agents, as well as “extra documents” whose contents he said he could not discuss out of concerns for his safety.

The JIT has yet to to respond to Resch, while Dutch prosecutors wrote him a letter saying his offer would be “taken into consideration,” but adding that his request to make the information public was “very unusual” and capable of “damaging” the probe. Prosecutors advised him to appeal to German prosecutors instead.

In the letter, seen by Sputnik, Dutch prosecutors told Resch that he could send his material to the JIT via a special online form.

Resch has been investigating the MH17 disaster since 2014 in his capacity as a private investigator.

MH17 Case

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was downed on 17 July 2014 while en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over an area of eastern Ukraine mired in civil conflict as a result of the Maidan coup in Kiev in February of that year. All 298 passengers and crew aboard the plane, most of them Dutch nationals, were killed.

The Ukrainian military and authorities in the self-proclaimed Donbass republics blamed each other for the tragedy, with eastern Ukrainian militias saying the did not have access to the kinds of anti-aircraft missiles that could down an airliner, or the personnel to operate them, while Kiev, the US and several European powers rushed to blame Russia, before an official investigation could even be launched.

The Netherlands set up a Joint Investigative Team to probe the MH17 case, but refused to allow Russia to join despite Moscow’s repeated offers to help. JIT concluded that the airliner had been shot down by a Buk missile, supposedly from a launcher belonging to a Russian anti-aircraft missile brigade ordinarily stationed in Kursk, near the Ukrainian border, but refused to share concrete evidence to corroborate its claims.

Russia conducted its own investigation, concluding that MH17 was downed by an older version of the Buk missile manufactured in 1986 and fielded by Ukraine, with Russia phasing out its stocks of the missile in a military modernisation program in the 2000s. Russia’s probe included extensive studies of forensic evidence, as well as the previously unprecedented declassification of previously secret information about advanced military hardware, and a complex experiment by defence concern Almaz-Antey, maker of the Buk, to determine who shot the plane down.

Last month, following the publication of JIT’s latest claims, which included the naming of three Russian nationals and one Ukrainian national as suspects in the case, Moscow slammed the accusations, and once again called for an unbiased investigation. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow could only recognise the results of a probe if it was able to participate in it. Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad similarly dismissed JIT’s claims, saying Kuala Lumpur was “very unhappy” about the probe, “because from the very beginning it was a political issue on how to accuse Russia of wrongdoing”.

  1. Hey Cindy Myer,
    Sie sehen es ganz Richtig mit dem Abschuss der Maschine MH-17. Fünf Jahre erzählt man uns nur Lügen und versucht den Mord an 298 Passagieren dem
    Russen die Schuld zu zuweisen. Aber der Russe hat damit nichts zu tun.
    Erstens zu dieser Zeit hat man ein Nato Manöver durchgeführt.Man hat es sogar zwei Tage verlängert der Code Name war BREEZE Die Ukraine lag unter totaler Radar Kontrolle auch von der Seeseite aus. In diesem Flugzeug waren viele Experten nach Australien zu einer EBOLA Konferenz, welche auch stattgefunden hat, habe ich selbst gesehen. Auch war als Passagier der Leiter des Bio war lab in Sierra Leone ( Kenema ) Glenn Thomas wo schon 11 000 Tote durch fake Virus gestorben waren. Auch an Bord war Joep Lange ein leading Aids ressearcher and früher Präsident der international Sozety ( AIDS ) mit seiner Frau Jacquelin van Tongeren vom
    Amsterdamer Institut für Global Health und Devolopment. In dieser Zeit hat die Luft gebrannt in West Afrika. Da liegt der Hase im Pfeffer.
    Nun möchte ich Ihnen einen Tip geben: rufen Sie mal die Seite auf }
    http://www.infowars.com/soros-admits-responsibility-for-co ( sehr interesant ) Das Bio war Lab war eine foundation ( Soros ) Auch führte Bill
    Gates mit seiner Frau Melanie zwei Hospitals in Sierra Leone ( Kenema )
    Man versucht uns ein sinister plot worthy of Hollywood zu vor zuführen..

  2. I love these articles. I just had a conversation with a work colleague talking of this. He was surprised that he knew nothing of any of this. Western media still censoring and filling minds with disinformation and lies. Inside I long for all this to be exposed in the mainstream and I have tried my hardest to get it out there by posting in comment sections via FB and other methods to make people aware of this. There is an army of us that are doing this everyday but it is a constant up hill battle getting people to understand that there is a different world out there to the one they think exists, a hidden world that is there but you need to lift the veil from you eyes to see it. Thank you Jim and to your team for publishing these important articles and know that despite the set backs we are still hanging in there with you. your website plays a very important part in exposing the deep state and the TPTB that are trying to destroy US all.
