AMSTERDAM8 Feb – The international team investigating the 2014 downing of the flight MH17 Malaysia Airlines for a missile has convincing evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally signed the decision to allow the missile system into Ukraine, Dutch prosecutors said Wednesday.

missile system BUK–LOOM was used to bring down the MH17 as he was traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014, investigators said.

However, they indicated that the evidence was not sufficient to prosecute.
