Grieving MH17 families to request compensation out of landmark criminal trial | BevanShields
It is unclear how any compensation would be extracted from the four men or any network they were involved with. A US court in 2018 ruled that two-dozen family members were entitled to compensation from Girkin but Schijns said the chances of that happening were "next to nothing".Some 316 different family members have expressed an interest in seeking compensation out of the criminal trial.
"As the prosecution has explained at great length already, establishing the facts is particularly difficult in this case because of the complicated political situation where we face obstruction and disinformation from the Russian federation."that witnesses in the trial face a "genuine threat" of being murdered by Russia's intelligence service.
"In addition to the grief they face because of their dearest, they are additionally injured by Russia's attitude," Schijns said on Monday. Former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott said in March that the Russian government was "evil" for covering up its role in the disaster.
