[Regnum] In Moscow, a court refused to collect 1 million rubles from the MSM Group company (the organizer of concerts, including the Piknik group, in Crocus City Hall) in favor of the victim of the terrorist attack. This is reported by TASS. “The Khoroshevsky District Court of Moscow has decided to deny the claims of A. N. Zagoskin,” the agency quotes the judge as saying. The plaintiff had previously stated that he had been poisoned by carbon monoxide during the terrorist attack and suffered severe psychological stress. He was not officially recognized as a victim in the criminal case, but he did provide the court with medical documents confirming that an ambulance had been called after the terrorist attack. As reported by the Regnum news agency, MSM Group refused to compensate the victim who claimed damage to his health. In addition, the company Crocus International was brought into the case as a third party. On March 22, 2024, terrorists broke into Crocus City Hall, opened fire on visitors and employees of the concert hall and started a fire. As a result of the terrorist attack, 146 people died, six of them children. 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"). 12 people were arrested. Currently, 19 defendants are already in custody.
