[Regnum] In Dagestan, the court decided to take into custody three more people detained for terrorism. One of them is Russian, the other two are citizens of Tajikistan, the head of the press service of the Supreme Court of the republic, Zarema Mamaeva, said on April 4.

She said that the Russian citizen is also a native of Tajikistan. In Russia, all three joined the group - a structural unit of an international terrorist organization, the court representative noted.

“Having considered the materials, the court, by decisions of April 4, 2024, chose a preventive measure for the suspect in the form of detention for a period of 1 month 26 days, until June 1, 2024 inclusive,” the RIA Novosti agency quoted Mamaev as saying.

As Regnum reported, on April 3, Mamaeva informed about the arrest of two citizens of Tajikistan, detained on March 31 during the counter-terrorism operation. They were remanded in custody for two months by the Sovetsky District Court of Makhachkala - until June 1, 2024. As the investigation found out, upon arriving in Russia, they joined a group that is part of an international terrorist organization. In the city of Kaspiysk, men stored illegally acquired weapons and ammunition.

On March 31, security forces detained three criminals in Kaspiysk and Makhachkala who were planning new terrorist attacks in Russia. Weapons, ammunition and a ready-to-use improvised explosive device were confiscated from them. One of the detainees admitted during interrogation that he took weapons to the terrorists who staged a terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow on March 22.

The Crocus City lot were Caucasus Emirate, ie. ISIS, as I recall.

According to the FSB, those detained in Dagestan were involved in financing the terrorist attack at Crocus: they transferred money to the perpetrators of the terrorist attack. They themselves planned to carry out an explosion in Kaspiysk.
