A Russian couple who fled to the Netherlands and provided confidential information about the crash of a Malaysian Boeing MH17 flight to Donbas will be extradited to Russia.
According to De Volkskrant, the couple released confidential information only two years after arriving in the Netherlands. The newspaper does not provide details on what information the Russians provided for security reasons.
At the same time, the IND Immigration Service believes that Russians should have information about MH17 shared as soon as they arrive in the Netherlands. Therefore, the IND rejected the Russians' application for asylum. Currently, according to the publication, the couple lives in the Netherlands and is awaiting deportation to Russia.
The point is that the Russian wife allegedly witnessed an accidental telephone conversation in which she was reported to have died the insert. She and her husband then moved to the Netherlands, stating that they were allegedly exposed to threats and ill-treatment by Russian special services.
At the same time, the IND Immigration Service did not consider it logical that the FSB would pursue the couple and refused to give them refuge. However, the couple's lawyer has now turned to the European Court of Human Rights.
