Private German fraud investigation company Wifka has announced it has been hired to look into the July 17 attack which brought down the Malaysia Airlines flight over eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 passengers on board, 38 of which were Australians.
Josef Resch, who runs Wifka, maintains the offer is genuine despite not knowing the identity of his client, NBC News reported.
“After the terrible assassination or ‘accident’ all political parties, at home and abroad, said they owed it to the victims, their families and the public to clarify the circumstances of the crash and present evidence for what happened. None of this has yet been done,” the company said in a statement.
Mr Resch reportedly told German finance magazine Capital that one of the men he had spoken to had a Swiss accent, and that he believes the probe is politically or economically motivated, possibly by a wealthy Russian seeking to damage Russian president Vladimir Putin and drive him out of office.
Mr Resch has reportedly earned 40,000 euros for taking on the role and will be given an additional 500,000 euros if he manages to identify who shot down MH17.
The reward is reportedly the biggest offer in history, exceeding the $25 million bounty offered for the capture of al-Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden.
The $30 million is being held in Switzerland and Wifka is appealing to anyone who may know anything to contact them through a lawyer to ensure their identity is kept confidential.
