Vladimir Putin KNOWS where missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is, according to investigator’s bizarre claim
VLADIMIR Putin knows exactly where missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is, according to a bizarre claim by a volunteer investigator.
Andre Milne has been trying to solve the riddle ever since the jet vanished over the Indian Ocean in March 2014.
He said he believes the aircraft made a soft ditch in the Bay of Bengal, in the North-east Indian Ocean.
And Milne – who previously appealed for £1.3million in funding to search the area for the missing jet – claims Vladimir Putin knew all along but said nothing.
He told the Daily Star: “Satellites that were placed by the Russians saw the wreckage … Putin would have been given that information.”

But Milne claimed the Russian president kept tight-lipped as he watched search teams looking for years in what he knew was the wrong place.
He said this was because the information was captured on a secret spy satellite, so the Russians could not reveal what they knew.
Milne said: “Putin has just had the Olympics, is just making his way onto the world stage, so he was highly sensitive to not wanting to be seen offending anyone.
“The reason President Putin did not raise his hand and march in and say we found it is because technically he would have been admitting committing espionage.”
Milne is no stranger to coming up with wacky conspiracy theories about the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.
In March, he claimed the aircraft was hijacked by a mysterious extra passenger not counted on the passenger list.
What happened to the plane has become one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries.
Not a single body has been found throughout the long search – just 33 pieces of wreckage.
Parts of wings and a tail were located on the shores of Mauritius, the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion, Mozambique, Tanzania and South Africa.
