Dutch-led team to release findings on MH17 today

An international team of Prosecutors looking into the downing of flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014 will release its findings today. The Dutch-led team is gathering evidence for a possible criminal trial. Prosecutors from Australia, Belgium, Malaysia and Ukraine are also part of the Joint Investigation Team. <br/><br/>An earlier inquiry by the Dutch Safety Board concluded that a Russian-made Buk missile hit the plane, without saying who fired it. The Boeing 777 flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, broke apart midair, killing all 298 people on board.<br/><br/>Ukrainian Government Forces were involved in heavy fighting with pro-Russian separatists when the incident occurred on 17 July 2014. Later, the European Union and US widened sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine conflict.
