November 26, Basmanny District Court of Moscow decided to extend the period of detention of three defendants in the case of the terrorist attack in "Crocus" until March 1, 2025. This is reported by a correspondent of "Izvestia" from the courtroom.

We are talking about Zubaidullo Ismailov, Umejon Soliev and Hussein Khamidov.

It was reported in early October that five defendants, including Shakhromjon Gadoev, Mustakim Soliev (included in the list of terrorists and extremists in the Russian Federation), were transferred from Dagestan to Moscow.

Earlier, on November 21, Basmanny court extended the arrest of Gadoev and Mustakim Soliev until February 28, 2025. They are members of the terrorist group "Wilayat Khorasan" (the Afghan wing of the "Islamic State", the organizations are recognized as terrorist and banned in Russia).

The terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall took place on March 22. Terrorists in camouflage stormed into the building, shooting and setting fire to the concert hall. The attack killed 145 people and injured 551.

The Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia said that the terrorists who committed the attack after the crime were supposed to cross the border between Russia and Ukraine, come to Kiev and receive the promised reward.

A criminal case has been opened under Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code ("Terrorist act"). The head of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia, Bortnikov, said on May 24 that more than 20 people, including the perpetrators and accomplices, had been detained in the case. All of them are in custody, their arrest has been extended several times.
