Putin facing multi-million pound legal action over alleged role in MH17 crash

[Alex077]

 Vladimir Putin is facing a multi-million-pound legal action for his alleged role in the shooting down of a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet over eastern Ukraine, The Sunday Telegraph can disclose.

British lawyers are preparing a class action against the Russian president through the American courts. Senior Russian military commanders and politicians close to Mr Putin are also likely to become embroiled in the legal claim.

The case would further damage relations between Mr Putin and the West, but politicians would be powerless to prevent it.

How can that work out? Suing someone in USA for something that happened outside USA were no party is related to USA?

How can that work out? Suing someone in USA for something that happened outside USA were no party is related to USA?

And no way to enforce the outcome of the ruling.

In case anyone do not realize, Russia has bigger gun than UK and Malaysia. And US army has stretched too thin to be any use.

Just though words, nothing more.The US didn't succeed in getting Snowden out of Russia nor China, they are superpowers. Nevertheless Snowden did the right thing.

a waste of american tax $

It is not even that their verdict will not be legally effective in Russia (besides Putin having a diplomatic immunity as a chief of state). It is more interesting how they are going to prove his guilt. It would be utterly ironic if the black boxes ultimately show that the Malaysian airliner was after all downed by a Ukrainian air defense system.

This case is not something that has any business being in the US court system.

The is clearly for promotional/propaganda purposes only. No way they can get Putin.

I don't see any sense in this news.
As statesman and president of Russia Putin have immunity against any legal action inside or outside of Russia.
Also, criminal investigation about MH17 crash has barely begun and it's very far from completion.
I think this is more media propaganda than real and serious plan or action by any authority.

Just propaganda, to paint a bad picture of Putin and prepare the people for war, has been going on for a while now.

If this was possible, imagine all the law suits all over the world against current and former US administration over millions of civilians killed, dislodged, destruction of property and infrastructure, US would go bankrupt...
