“The court believes that the position of Almaz-Antey was clearly formulated, so no one expects that Almaz-Antey will provide an additional report ... Therefore, the court rejects this defense request,” RIA Novosti quoted the judge as saying.
At a hearing in June, the Dutch prosecutor's office asked to reject the defense's request for a new survey of Almaz-Antey's experts.
Earlier, the presiding judge during a hearing in the Netherlands on the case of the crash of Boeing on flight MH17, spoke about the findings of an expert from the Almaz-Antey concern, who was interviewed by the investigating judge.
Boeing 777, flying MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, crashed on July 17, 2014 in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Killed 283 passengers and 15 crew members. The trial in the case of the crash of flight MH17 started in the Netherlands on March 9, 2020.
