Dutch ‘botched’ inquiry into air crash

Relatives of MH17 crash victims, angered by what they see as Dutch mishandling of inquiries into the disaster, want a special UN envoy to launch an international investigation.

A letter sent to Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte said Dutch officials had failed to build a case. They asked that inquiries by the Safety Board and prosecution service be handed over to the UN.

Rutte should “request the UN to appoint a special envoy to take over,” said the letter written by Van der Goen Attorneys.
