Turkey has requested up to 15 years in prison for foreigners linked to the Crocus terrorist attack

Istanbul Prosecutor General's Office demands from 7.5 to 15 years in prison for foreigners connected with the terrorist attack in the Moscow Region's Crocus City Hall. This was reported by the agency Anadolu on January 2.

It noted that five foreigners are suspected of maintaining contact with the perpetrators of the terrorist attack. We are talking about Hofizjon Usmonov, Muteullo Usoyev, Rakhmatullo Salikov, Muhammadrahim Faizov and Hamza Muhammed.

"The indictment states that the accused acted together during their stay in Turkey," the publication said, citing the Prosecutor General's Office.

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"). In April, Russian Prosecutor-General Igor Krasnov said that there was an obvious Ukrainian trace in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall.
