Prosecutor Ireneusz Szelag from Poland's District Military Prosecutors' Office announced on 27 March 2015 that two Russian air traffic controllers would be charged over a 2010 plane crash which killed then Polish president Lech Kaczyński and 95 other significant figures in the Polish establishment. Mr Szelag clarified that the investigation had so far established as the main cause of the crash the failure of the plane's crew to respond adequately to bad weather. But he also said prosecutors had begun the process of presenting two charges to air traffic controllers involved in guiding the aircraft in to land at an airport in Smolensk, western Russia. Poland marked the fifth anniversary of the 2010 plane crash at Smolensk in Russia on the 10 April 2015. |
