The person involved in the case was arrested in March
One of the four key defendants in the MH17 case, Leonid Kharchenko, was arrested in March this year in occupied Donetsk. It is reported by the BBC.
A source from the publication related to the military command “DPR” in 2014-2015 and a colleague Kharchenko, who still lives in Donetsk, confirmed that “on March 11 he was arrested near his home in Donetsk by” DPR authorities and arrested, but in a completely different criminal case.
A week ago, Kharchenko spanned another two months. Now, according to the interlocutors of the publication, he is being held in the pre-trial detention center of the “DPR Ministry of Justice”, which is located in Donetsk, on Kobozeva Street, 4. Jarchenko’s co-workers believe they want to isolate the former intelligence officer.
Like the BBC, he is accused of participating in an illegal search in 2014 and illegal possession of weapons.
“According to the first point, the victims have no complaints against him. In the second, this pistol was delivered to the” Ministry of State Security “in 2019 to guarantee personal safety in relation to the MH17 case,” the source said. .
The BBC source also believes that the former military intelligence officer was detained to exclude the possibility of his arrest by the Ukrainian secret services.
Note that last year, the Ukrainian commandos managed to bring Vladimir Tsemakh, who considers himself involved in the MH17 case, to Kiev. However, he was transferred to Russia as part of a prisoner exchange.
It was previously reported that new suspects will appear during the MH17 trial. The suspects are now Sergey Dubinsky, Igor Girkin and Oleg Pulatov, as well as a Ukrainian citizen Leonid Kharchenko.
Recall, Jerry Skinner, an attorney for family members of those killed in the Boeing 777 crash on the Donbass, said that the installation of the Buk air defense system, which likely shot down the plane from Flight MH17, was unable to leave the territory of the Russian Federation. Russia, it was the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, who gave the permission.
