A court in Spain has suspended an investigation into the death of pilot Maxim Kuzminov, who hijacked an Mi-8 helicopter in 2023 and defected to Ukraine due to the lack of suspects. This was announced on December 9 by the judicial authorities of Spain.

"After analyzing the circumstances of the case and taking into account the requirements for the commission of a criminal offense, the present judge concludes that there is insufficient evidence to bring to criminal responsibility a specific person as an executor, accomplice or accomplice of the events that served as the basis for the initiation of this case," the statement said.
