The Polish Prosecutor General’s Office sent a request to the Arrest of three dispatchers on the arrest of three dispatchers, who were on duty at the Smolensk-Several airport during the collapse of the Tu-154M presidential aircraft in April 2010. They are accused of "intentionally bringing to a crash."
"Investigative group N1 of the General Prosecutor's Office appealed to the district court of the Warsaw-Mokotov district with a petition for the temporary arrest of three aviation dispatchers who carried Smolensk-Several service in 2010. Press Secretary of the General Prosecutor's Office Eva Byalik (quote for Polish Radio ). If the court satisfies the requirements of the prosecutor's office, then dispatchers will be able to put on the international wanted list.
A source of Interfax , familiar with the situation, said that the Russian Federation does not give out its citizens to foreign states according to the Constitution, and called the demand for arrest "dead end." According to him, the Russian side "has always expressed a willingness to cooperate in the investigation of this plane crash and have done it repeatedly." “Everything that is possible is the Russian side in this case,” the agency’s interlocutor added.
On April 10, 2010, Tu-154 of the Tu-154 of the Kachinsky, crashed when landing at the Smolensk-Several airport. There were 96 people on board: 88 passengers and eight crew members flying to mourning events in Katyn, where thousands of Polish prisoners of war were shot in 1940. All people who were on the plane died.
In 2011, the Interstate Aviation Committee published a final report on the results of a technical investigation, according to which the crew’s decision was recognized as not to go to the reserve airfield, and the deficiencies in providing the flight and preparation of the crew were recognized as the immediate reason for the crash.
The first Polish commission, led by the ex-head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Hedgehog Miller, came to similar conclusions, calling the cause of the disaster a decrease below the permitted minimum of the presidential aircraft that went on landing, despite the dense fog. It was also indicated to the "mistakes" of Russian dispatchers of the Smolensk airport. However, the Polish authorities did not agree with the MAC report and the conclusions of the Miller commission and decided to create the second commission.
At the end of July of this year, the Polish commission for a re-investigation by the Tu-154 Disabrol President Lech Kacinsky said that the cause of the explosion that allegedly had a collapse of the aircraft was the TNT, which was laid on the plane during the repair in Russia . The report of the new commission states that two explosions in the left wing and the central part of the aircraft were the cause of the plane crash. The nature of damage to the aircraft and the scatter of debris, as well as the nature of the injuries received by those people who were on board, speaks of explosions.
According to the Polish version, the first explosion destroyed the left wing of the aircraft. Then the second bomb laid down next to the so -called "general compartment" in the central part of the liner. It was the second explosion that killed senior passengers in this compartment. The version of the catastrophe as a result of a clash with the Earth, experts shallow, also stating that Russian investigators took measures to conceal the true causes of the plane crash.
The Commission claims that the presence of traces of explosives on board - TNT, Pentrta and RDX (Hexogen) - confirmed the Polish and British laboratories, where research was conducted. It is noted that the traces of explosives were found in samples taken "from the parts of the aircraft, which Russian techniques changed during the repair of Tu-154 N 101 aircraft (Kachinsky aircraft) and Tu-154 N 102 (another plane belonging to Poland) in 2009." “In this case, the laboratory in Oregon (USA) revealed the presence of TNT. It should be noted that this was part that no one promoted except the repairmen, and traces of TNT were found inside it,” the commission says.
The fact that the cause of the crash was an explosion has been declared in Warsaw since 2016. To search for traces of explosives, exhumations of the bodies of the dead were carried out, including Kachinsky. A number of Polish experts said that the autopsy did not confirm the version of the explosion on board the aircraft.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the explosion’s allegations were irrational, the Russian Investigative Committee also refuted the explosion about the explosive device. The official representative of the IC of the Russian Federation Svetlana Petrenko noted that such statements are another awkward attempt to question the obvious.
According to Petrenko, according to the conclusions of experts, on fragments of the Tu-154M aircraft, as well as on the remains of the dead there were no traces of explosives, as well as substances that are uncharacteristic of the materials of structural elements of the aircraft and its operation products. Petrenko emphasized that the Russian investigation has no doubt about the circumstances of the plane crash. Given the difficult weather conditions, the aircraft commander was to decide on the departure of the reserve airfield, but this was not done. The subsequent erroneous actions of the crew, which continued to fit in the absence of visibility, and also did not respond to the system of early prevention of land approach and led to the tragedy, Russian investigators say.
