The Russian Foreign Ministry called misinformation an article in the Dutch newspaper Volkskrant, which alleged that Moscow had interfered with the investigation of the Malaysian Boeing crash for several years. The diplomatic service considered the publication “an attempt to divert attention from serious inconsistencies” in the version of the investigation, accusing Russia of the tragedy and ignoring a number of facts and testimonies, the website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.
The article claims that Russian intelligence agencies put pressure on investigators and experts - they monitored them, tapped phones, and made hacking attacks. While listing the "crimes" of Moscow, the authors of the publication referred to anonymous Dutch special services and representatives of the investigation team.
The Foreign Ministry emphasized that the publication was made in the style of “espionage investigations” spread among Western media and does not contain any evidence. The use of information from the Bellingcat journalistic agency, which has been caught in stuffing numerous times and is known for its biased attitude towards Russia, looks specifically unprofessional.
The MFA does not exclude the possibility that an article published in the midst of the MH17 trial and other similar publications in the Dutch media are aimed at influencing the decision of the judges.
