| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] New defendants may appear in the case of the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region. This is evidenced by court materials reviewed by TASS. According to the publication, the investigation has reason to believe that, if left at large, Muhammad Zoir Sharipzoda (an individual included in the Russian Federation list of terrorists and extremists) may hide from the preliminary investigation bodies and the court, continue to engage in criminal activity, and also come into contact with other unidentified accomplices in the crime. The court also did not rule out that the defendant could destroy evidence that had not yet been collected, according to the court ruling on the arrest of Tajikistan native Sharipzoda, the 11th defendant in the criminal case. He was detained on April 2. By court order, he was arrested and sent to a pretrial detention facility. The accused himself stated that he partially admits guilt and is ready to cooperate with the investigation. As reported by Regnum news agency, a new witness in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall in early August testified to investigators and confirmed that the arrested Muhammad Sharipzoda was involved in the crime. One of the defendants, Yakubdzhoni Yusufzoda (listed by Rosfinmonitoring as a terrorist and extremist), attempted to destroy evidence of the investigation before his arrest. Several days before the attack on Crocus City Hall, the defendant used his bank card to transfer money to an accomplice to provide accommodation for other defendants in the case. Yusufzoda transferred part of the funds to one of the perpetrators after the incident in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region. Terrorists attacked Crocus City Hall on the evening of March 22. The gunmen opened fire on visitors and then set fire to the concert hall. As a result of the terrorist attack, 144 people were killed and 551 were injured.
