An anonymous benefactor has offered $30 million for information regarding the identity of those responsible for shooting down the MH 17 flight over Ukraine.

Fraud investigation company Wifka said that the anonymous sponsor has put the money in a bank in Zurich, Switzerland.

The person who gives information about those responsible for the shooting of the plain will also be given a new identity, Wifka said in a statement Wednesday.

The investigation company said that it wants to know who shot down the plane, who ordered the firing and who covered up the shooting. Two other questions it wants to know are who was directly involved and where are the people involved in the shooting now.

"Everyone can be bought, it's just a question of the price," Josef Resch, of Wifka, said, reports The Independent.

Wifka also said that investigation in the case is progressing slowly.

 "After the terrible assassination or 'accident', all political parties said they owed it to the victims, their families and the public to clarify the circumstances of the crash and present evidence for what happened. None of this has yet been done," the statement said.

Resch, a private detective who has been in the field for 30 years, has already received 40,000 Euros as fee. He said he did not know the identity of his client. However, one of the intermediaries had a Swiss accent, he said, reports The Local.

Dutch investigators leading the probe in to the crash of the Malaysian Airlines flight over Ukraine in July had said that the plane was hit by "high-energy objects from outside the aircraft."

The MH17 plane, flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur had crashed in Ukraine in pro-Russian rebel-held territory on July 17. All the 283 passengers and 15 crew on board died in the crash.
