A native of Tajikistan has been arrested in Tver for registering the suspects involved in the attack on “Krokus City Hall” in Krasnogorsk at his home.
According to Russian media, his name is Ashurov, and he holds dual citizenship – Russian and Tajik.
A criminal case has been initiated against Ashurov for the fictitious registration of brothers Dilovar and Aminjon Islomov at his residence.
“On the same day, he was interrogated with the participation of a defender, confirmed his involvement, and after being charged with the crime, the man fully admitted his guilt,” the Moscow District Court reported on its website.
He has been placed in custody as a preventive measure, as Ashurov has close relatives living in Tajikistan. The court has arrested Ashurov for two months, as “there were grounds to believe that the defendant would attempt to flee abroad and continue engaging in criminal activity or otherwise obstruct the investigation and the court,” the statement noted.
It was previously reported that 32-year-old Islomov Aminjon Isroilovich and 24-year-old Islomov Dilovar Isroilovich have been detained on suspicion of committing a crime under paragraph “b” of part 3 of article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Terrorist Act). Dilovar Islomov was the last owner of a white “Renault,” which the suspects used to escape.
According to the investigation, one of the previously arrested individuals in the case — Fariduni Shamsidin — recruited Aminjon Islomov into the organized group, and later — Dilovar Islomov.
It was also reported that a week before the attack, Dilovar Islomov sold his car — a white “Renault,” which the suspects used to escape. According to them, they came to the police themselves after learning about the attack at “Krokus City Hall” from the media the next day. However, according to their relatives, they were detained. The accused denied all charges from the Investigative Committee of Russia.
