[Regnum] Ukrainian special services are directly related to the terrorist attack in Crocus, said the director of the Russian FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Security Agencies and Special Services of the CIS Member States in Bishkek.

“The investigation is ongoing, but we can already say with confidence that Ukrainian military intelligence is directly related to this attack,” said the head of the FSB.

He added that more than 20 people, including direct perpetrators and accomplices, have been detained in connection with the attack on Crocus. Two of the four perpetrators arrived in Russia from Turkey shortly before the attack.
Turkey? The plot thickens!
Law enforcement officers continue to establish the entire circle of those involved.

During the investigation, it was established that Islamists operating in the Afghan-Pakistan zone coordinated the preparation and execution of the terrorist attack, as well as the withdrawal of the attackers, via the Internet. The perpetrators of the terrorist attack were expected near the Ukrainian border; a “window” was prepared for them on that side, Bortnikov also said.

As Regnum reported, the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow took place on March 22. The attackers burst into the hall, began shooting at people, and then set the auditorium on fire. 145 people died, including six children. Another 550 people are listed as injured.

The alleged perpetrators of the terrorist attack were taken into custody on March 25. President Vladimir Putin promised that Russia will reach all the beneficiaries and customers of the terrorist attack at Crocus.

Earlier, FSB Director Bortnikov said that the testimony of those detained in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus confirms the Ukrainian trace. The perpetrators of the terrorist attack received significant amounts of money from Ukraine, he explained.

The head of Rosfinmonitoring, Yuri Chikhanchin, said that the terrorist attack was financed through several organizations using cryptocurrency. The scheme involved citizens of a number of countries.

#1 Apparently not enough folks believe this tale yet so they keep flogging different variations of it. Silly people still think it was Al-Qaeda/ISIS SOP.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” - Joseph Goebbels
