The Deputy Prosecutor-General Marek Piosenek at a press conference Monday in Warsaw, said that the investigation of the crash of Tu-154 of President Lech Kaczynski has collected and produced evidence that allowed prosecutors to formulate a new accusation against the Russian managers, as well as against third persons who were in the control tower the flight.
“We are talking about the deliberate provocation of the disaster, which resulted in the death of a large number of people”, – reads the statement of the Polish Prosecutor General, RIA “Novosti”.
He added that Poland will sent Russia an official request for legal assistance for questioning air traffic controllers.
We will remind that earlier in the framework of the renewed investigation of the crash of the presidential Tu-154 near Smolensk which killed 88 passengers and eight crew members flying at the mourning events in Katyn, in Poland began exhumations. Just been exhumed 16 bodies of the victims. The first was exhumed in November 2016, the remains of President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria.
After that, Poland had already accused Russia about not providing a complete record of the crashed plane. In Poland noticed that the President of Russia Vladimir Putin during a press conference quoted the record, talking about outsiders in the cockpit of the Polish pilots, but this fragment provided Russia the records of the Polish investigators didn’t find.
In addition, in February this year the Prosecutor General of Poland addressed to the British laboratory at Fort Halstead with a request to re-examine the wreckage of the Tu-154 to check the version of the attack.
And at the end of March in Warsaw reported that the criminal police of Spain explores the wreckage of the plane Tu-154, in particular it was a question of the laboratory in Madrid. Assistance of Spain was “the scientific support of the investigation” and the examination of samples for the presence of explosives.
Recall that in 2011, the international aviation Committee has established that the immediate cause of the crash is recognized as the crew’s decision not to leave on spare airdrome, and the system reasons — deficiencies in flight operations and crew training.
