In the hours before a press conference in France concerning possible wreckage from missing flight MH370 the public prosecutors office in Paris has pressured Malaysia’s government to stop being evasive about what it knows about the crash.

The Wall Street Journal quotes a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office as saying “We’ve been asking for information from the Malaysians for a long time.”

The report says “Now that the French have invited the Malaysians to participate in the examination of the wing, the French judge expects information from Malaysia about its criminal investigation into the flight’s disappearance.”

It refers to the evasiveness of the Malaysian authorities and to the frustration that has caused other governments with an interest in solving the riddle of the missing flight, but doesn’t refer to Australia by name, where the policy setting is to be obsequious to the government in Kuala Lumpur and dare not question anything even though its Prime Minister Najib Razak misled it over what it knew about the crash from day one.

Malaysia has been instructing the Australian led search of the south Indian Ocean sea bed for the sunk wreckage of the jet, which disappeared with 239 people on board on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March 2014.

The discovery of a wing ‘flaperon’ on the shores of La Reunion island in the Indian Ocean near Mauritius last week saw it taken to Toulouse for testing, where in French law, a criminal investigation into the loss of French lives in the incident takes precedence over parallel inquiries into the crash.
