Description
An international team of prosecutors seeking to put Russia's top brass on trial over the country's invasion of Ukraine has already gathered "thousands" of pieces of evidence and expects to eventual have "hundreds of thousands", according to the head of EU judicial agency Eurojust, Ladislav Hamran. Speaking in an interview with AFP, Hamran explains "it's a combination of so-called classic evidence like witness testimonies and victim testimonies, but also a lot of digital evidence". Eurojust is coordinating an unprecedented team from several European countries, Ukraine, the US, and the International Criminal Court, known as the International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression (ICPA), which aims to plug a hole in international law laid bare by Russia's February 2022 invasion.
