On this day, he stressed, the floor will be given to the relatives of the victims, who expressed a desire, but have not yet exercised their right to go to court. After that, on December 8, it is planned to discuss the issue of compensation. “As for other dates, the court cannot yet make a decision,” Steinheis said. “We will study this issue, the schedule of meetings and announce the decision separately.”
Details
Earlier it was supposed that the prosecutor’s office will issue an indictment on November 15-16. However, this date was postponed due to the fact that the court intends to continue to seek questioning as a witness Sergei Muchkaev, who in the summer of 2014 commanded the 53rd anti-aircraft missile brigade based in Kursk. The deadline for this is February 10, 2022.
“Only now has the court decided to extend the deadline by which Muchkaev can be questioned until February 10, 2022,” said prosecutor Theis Berger. “We hold the view that we cannot present our indictment before all investigative measures in the case have been completed.” “This means that only on February 9-10, 2022, the prosecutor’s office will be able to appear in court,” he said. – It’s just before. I would like to point out that progress in this matter is extremely important to us, but we have no choice. It is important not to waste more time than necessary. This is in the interests of both the relatives and all the accused. “

On May 24, 2018, the Joint Investigation Team for the crash of flight MH17 determined that the plane was shot down by a self-propelled unit “Buk” belonging to the 53rd Brigade from the city of Kursk in the Russian Federation.
In June 2019, investigators named four suspects in the MH17 crash.

The suspects are three citizens of Russia and one citizen of Ukraine – Igor Girkin, Sergei Dubinsky, Oleg Pulatov and Leonid Kharchenko, who are accused of involvement in the tragedy of flight MH17 of Malaysia Airlines.
