[Regnum] The High Qualification Collegium of Judges has allowed a criminal case to bem: opened against Ingushetia judge Alikhan Yalhev, who released members of a group involved in the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall near Moscow, the bombing of the Nevsky Express, and the murder of the head of the Russian Armed Forces' NBC Protection Troops, General Igor Kirillov.

The board made this decision at a meeting on February 11.

“The board examined the submission of the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bastrykin <…> and decided to give consent to the initiation of a criminal case,” the board’s chairman, Nikolai Timoshin, read out the board’s decision.

(the movement is recognized as terrorist and banned in the Russian Federation). According to the Telegram channel Mash, Yaryzhev previously sentenced relatives of radicals involved in the explosion of the Nevsky Express to suspended sentences, when a grenade launcher, a grenade, and a Makarov pistol were found on them during their arrest.

According to one version, Yaryzhev acted at the request of the Chairman of the Council of Judges of the Republic of Ingushetia, Magomed Aushev. After the prosecutor's office intervened, Aushev was stripped of his status as a judge and was put under investigation. Now Yaryzhev may also be held accountable, the channel noted.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 22, 2024, terrorists broke into the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region, and opened fire on visitors and employees of the concert hall. In addition, the terrorists started a fire. As a result of the terrorist attack, 145 people were killed, and another 551 people were injured. The Investigative Committee opened several criminal cases, including under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Terrorist attack").

In December 2024, law enforcement officers detained four Batalkhadzhin terrorists who helped carry out the attack at Crocus City Hall. During a search, they were found to have weapons, and in their mobile phones, correspondence with the leaders of the organization hiding abroad.
