| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] One of the defendants in the case of the attack on the Crocus City Hall concert hall, Yakubdzhoni Yusufzoda planned to flee abroad from the Russian Federation immediately after the terrorist attack. This is stated in the case materials, TASS writes. The investigator's motion to arrest Yusufzod states that he supports radical Islamic movements and the need for armed struggle against people who do not share his religious views. He also planned to leave Russia immediately after the terrorist attack. “There is reason to believe that, if left at liberty, the accused may abscond from the investigation and trial,” the Moscow City Court’s decision on the appeal against Yusufzoda’s arrest states. A new witness in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall gave evidence to investigators in early August and confirmed that the arrested Muhammad Sharipzoda (included in the list of terrorists and extremists by Rosfinmonitoring) was involved in the crime. As reported by the Regnum news agency, Yakubdzhoni Yusufzoda tried to destroy evidence of the investigation before his arrest. Several days before the attack on Crocus City Hall, the accused, using his bank card, transferred money to an accomplice to pay for rented housing 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.
