The Dutch prosecutor's office screwed up the investigation into the Boeing crash in Donbass
Recent detention in Holland of journalists Michael Spekkers and Stefan Beck who returned from Donbass, who were investigating the Malaysian Boeing crash, is evidence that European officials themselves do not want to conduct an objective investigation. Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova told reporters about this today.

“We have seen reports that correspondents have collected some elements of the plane, fragments of the bodies of the alleged victims of the disaster. As it turns out, all this is still at the scene of the tragedy and is not being investigated by the joint investigative team, whose work is led by the Dutch prosecutor's office. This was clear to us right away,” said Zakharova.
She recalled that the Russian side had been pointing out for two years that not all evidence had been removed from the scene of the tragedy.
“Now this has been found out, including by journalists from the country that took on the main work on this investigation. There are fears that this information will never reach the general public in the Netherlands and Europe because the material may be censored. There are such concerns, but I hope that this will not happen,” Zakharova said.
In her opinion, the episode with journalists, from whom the police seized office equipment and evidence brought from Donbass at the airport, indicates
failure of the investigative team's work.
“Now the Dutch side is ready to put restraining bands on its own journalists, who are just trying to find out the truth and fulfill their professional duty. What about freedom of speech? – said Zakharova.
It should be noted that one of the journalists, Stefan Beck, confirmed on his Facebook page the day before that Western media are trying to hush up the fact of the seizure of materials collected in the Donbass.
