This was reported by TASS, referring to a letter from the Minister of Justice and Security of the Netherlands Ferdinand Grapperhaus to the national parliament.

According to him, such an offer was received on October 17, 2019. It was proposed to consider the transfer to Russia of a criminal case against three Russian suspects.

In response to this, Grapperhouse said that this "is not an option."

“The Netherlands does not consider this proposal,” he stressed.

He added that the Russian authorities were sent a question about their readiness to study the possibility of enforcing a Dutch court decision in the event of a conviction.

Earlier it was reported that the Netherlands prosecutor charged four defendants in the MH17 case.

As Russia's Permanent Representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov stated, the Russian side is ready to provide the Netherlands with its data on the crash of Boeing.

In the summer of 2019, four suspects were announced in a joint crash investigation team.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the SSG’s allegations of “involvement” of Russians in the collapse of MH17 unfounded.

The Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia noted that no data was provided that would indicate the involvement of Russian citizens in the crash of Boeing.

The Boeing 777, which followed flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, crashed on July 17, 2014 in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. 283 passengers and 15 crew members on board were killed.
