MOSCOW: Two men, suspected of supplying weapons to those who perpetrated the deadly attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue last year, may try to intimidate witnesses or destroy evidence if released from pretrial detention, according to court documents obtained by TASS.
One of the documents says that evidence, collected during the investigation, gives sufficient grounds to believe that residents of Russia’s North Caucasus region of Ingushetia, Dzhabrail Aushev and Khusein Medov, "may coordinate their actions with other suspects, intimidate witnesses and other suspects who testified against them, obtain false evidence of their innocence or destroy evidence."
The terror attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue in the city of Krasnogorsk just a stone’s throw from Moscow’s city limits was staged on the evening of March 22. The attack claimed 144 lives and left 551 more people hurt. Four perpetrators — Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, Saidakram Rachabalizoda, Shamsidin Fariduni, and Mukhammadsobir Faizov — were detained in Russia’s Bryansk Region bordering Ukraine by the next morning. Later, seven more suspected accomplices — brothers Amichon and Dilovar Islomovs, their father Isroil Islomov, Alisher Kasimov, Lutfullo Nazrimada, Yakubdzhoni Yusufzoda, and Mukhammad Sharipzoda — were also detained. At this point, 27 people are listed as suspects in the case.
The Russian Investigative Committee said it had managed to prove their connection to Ukrainian nationalists.
