[Regnum] The court extended the investigation period in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus until February 22, and also increased the arrest period for its alleged perpetrators. “The investigation’s motion is to be satisfied and the accused Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, Murodali Rachabalizoda, Muhammadsobiru Faizov and Shamsidin Fariduni (all four are included in the list of terrorists and extremists) are to be remanded in custody for a period of three months,” the judge said. The investigation period was extended for approximately the same period (until February 22). The hearing was held behind closed doors. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the terrorist attack in Crocus took place on the evening of March 22. A group of terrorists burst into the concert hall filled with people, opened fire, and then started a fire. As a result of the terrorist attack, 144 people were killed and 551 were injured. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened several criminal cases, including under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Terrorist attack"), under which 12 people were arrested. On March 23, four people suspected of directly committing the attack were detained in the Bryansk region. They were driving a car towards the border with Ukraine. In early October, it became known that four defendants in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack case were members of the Vilayat Khorasan group (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation).
