MOSCOW (Sputnik), Svetlana Alexandrova — In July 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, killing all 298 people on board. On Tuesday, the Dutch Safety Board revealed its final report on the details of the incident.
"The Safety Boards, traditionally, across the countries, at least, those that are independent, would not look at the criminal activities as part of their investigation," Mark Rosenker, who on the NTSB between 2006 and 2008, said Tuesday.
He added that the report issued by the Dutch Safety Boards "is a good scientific report that again they never were going to, in any shape or form, try to assess blame."
"It will be another investigation that is going on right now and I believe the Dutch are leading this one and it will be a judicial type where they are looking at the criminal aspect of what they believe had happened there."
According to the final findings by the Dutch Safety Board, the Malaysia Airlines aircraft crashed as a result of a ground-to-air missile explosion near the left side of the plane.
Meanwhile, the Russian air defense systems producer Almaz-Antey, which had launched a separate probe into the crash, said the plane was downed from territory under control of Kiev-led forces at the time of the crash.
