The investigation into the case of 19 people accused of involvement in the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall outside Moscow has been completed, and their case has been transferred to the prosecutor's office.

This terrorist attack was the largest in the Moscow region in 30 years.
In April 2024, four Tajik citizens and a Russian citizen, Shakhromdzhon Gadoev, Mustakim Soliev, Zubaydullo Ismailov, Umedzhon Soliev and Khusein Khamidov, who worked as tilers at construction sites in Makhachkala and Kaspiysk, were arrested in Dagestan. The investigation believes that they were preparing a terrorist attack in Kaspiysk and supplied weapons to those involved in the attack on Crocus City Hall. In November 2024, Ingush residents Khusein Medov and Dzhabrail Aushev were detained in connection with the terrorist attack. The investigation links them to the recognized terrorist militant wing of the Ingush vird of the Batalkhadzhins. In December 2024, four more Ingush residents were detained on suspicion of aiding the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall.
The criminal case against 19 defendants in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall has been sent to the prosecutor's office for transfer to court, and the investigation against two organizers and four members of the terrorist organization is still ongoing, said Svetlana Petrenko, a representative of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.

The investigation believes that all of them were members of the terrorist organization "Vilayat Khorasan", banned in Russia. Depending on the role of each, they are accused of especially serious crimes.
"The investigation has established that this inhuman crime was planned and committed in the interests of the current leadership of Ukraine with the aim of destabilizing the political situation in our country. In addition, a number of the accused planned to blow up an entertainment complex in the city of Kaspiysk in the Republic of Dagestan, but this crime was prevented," RIA Novosti quotes a representative of the Investigative Committee of Russia as saying today.
According to the investigation, preparations for the terrorist attack began several months before it was committed. Some of the defendants arrived in Russia from abroad, where they had undergone initial training. Some were already in Russia, looking for means and tools to commit the crime. Others were constantly remaking firearms and handing them over to members of the terrorist organization. The weapons were brought to Kaspiysk, from where they were delivered to Moscow immediately before the terrorist attack, TASS writes.
