The BUK rocket that downed flight MH17, was fired from a territory in eastern Ukraine that was under the control of pro-Russian rebels. For the downing of the plane a BUK missile was used that was brought in from Russia and then was returned to Russia.
That has been confirmed by the investigation of the Public Prosecutor (OM). "
We can conclusively prove that it was a BUK." Recently, the first results of the criminal investigation by the International Joint Investigation Team (JIT) were disclosed to the relatives of flight MH17 in Nieuwegein (Netherlands).
The exact position of the launcher of the rocket is an arable field in Pervomajsk, six kilometers south of the town Snizhne. This corresponds to the launch site that RTL News indicated in 2014. At that location, the pro-Russian separatists were in charge on that day.
There are one hundred persons of interest.
On 17 July, flight MH17 Malaysia Airlines, left from Schiphol Airport and was shot, over eastern Ukraine. The disaster killed all the passengers on the flight. Among the 298 victims were 196 Dutch citizens.
This morning the families of the victims were the first to be informed about the results of the investigation.
Russia continues to deny that pro-Russian rebels have anything to do with the downing of flight MH17. On Monday they gave a press conference where they presented "proof" that the rocket was not fired from the separatist region. The missile, according to the Russians, was fired from Ukrainian territory.
The Joint Investigation team (JIT) firmly denies the version of the Russians.
Correspondent Jeroen Akkermans has done a lot of research in the disaster area into the origin of the missile. "This is a confirmation of suspicions existing since long ago. Russia denies any involvement and based on the latest data, this has become even less credible," Akkermans says.

The key word here is PROOF.
Other than that. the story has not changed since the first hours after the downing of the airplane.
Legsal proof is of course a different story.
Apparently, the JIT left no stone unturned:

A Finnish defence official has confirmed that secret missile tests were carried out in Finland two years ago. The tests were reportedly carried out in cooperation with Dutch investigators to determine which kinds of missiles could have been used in the downing of the Malaysian Airlines MH17 plane in eastern Ukraine which killed all 298 people on board, most of whom were from the Netherlands.
The time and exact location of the tests remain secret. Neither the Ministry of Defence nor the Defence Forces have commented about the Dutch news report.
The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported that the tests found the weapon in question was a Russian Buk missile.
