As debris from MH17 smouldered across the fields of eastern Ukraine, families and next of kin were thrust into a new reality – one of profound loss and unimaginable grief. While the world around them moved forward, their lives had been forever altered and they wanted someone held responsible. Justice would be an arduous 8-and-a-half-year journey and the AFP would not let them go through it alone. The AFP’s Family Investigative Liaison Officers (FILOs) would become a lifeline for grieving Australian families, providing support and a single point of truth against a background of complex misinformation.

In the days after MH17 came down, unarmed AFP officers were deployed into an active conflict zone patrolled by Russia-backed separatists.

As evidence began to be uncovered, the downing of MH17 was looking more like a criminal act... and the crash site had just become the world’s biggest crime scene.

Introduction

Season 1

Monday, July 15, 2024 • Duration 02:06

The story of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 is one of profound tragedy and loss. It is also a story of unwavering dedication to seeking truth, justice and accountability.

The Attorney General of Australia, the Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP, pays tribute to those whose unimaginable stories have inspired this 5-part podcast series. In particular, those who travelled to Ukraine and the Netherlands in 2014 to investigate the MH17 crash and recover the remains of the victims, and those who tirelessly worked on investigations and advocated for absolute accountability in the years since. This podcast is testament to all those remarkable people.
