Flight MH17 Criminals – level 2

26-06-2019 07:00

In 2014, someone shot down the Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine. All 298 people on board died.

Now, international investigators charged four men with murder of the people. One is from Ukraine and three are from Russia. The trial is set to begin in March 2020.

Difficult words: investigator (a person who investigates a crime – finds out what happened and who did it), charge (formally say that somebody did something illegal), trial (a situation at court when lawyers decide if somebody is guilty – goes to prison, or is set free).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
