NEW YORK: The family of an American killed when a Malaysian Airlines plane was shot down over Ukraine in 2014 can sue Russia 's largest bank for allegedly providing money transfers to a group blamed for downing the plane, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday.
The flight was shot down over DPR-controlled territory in eastern Ukraine by a surface-to-air missile, killing all 298 people on board. In Tuesday's decision, Circuit Judge Joseph Bianco called Sberbank's alleged handling of money transfers"quintessentially commercial activity," triggering an exception to protections under the federal Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act .The bank also said another U.S. law, the Anti-Terrorism Act, provided immunity regardless of when it came under state control, with no exception for commercial activity.
