Lawyer reported the completion of the investigation into the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall

The Investigative Committee (IC) of the Russian Federation has completed the investigation into the case of the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall concert hall near Moscow. This was reported by the lawyer of one of the accused Oleg Vlasov on February 6.

According to him, the parties have begun to study the case materials.

"Investigative actions in the case are completed, the parties have begun to familiarize themselves with its materials. According to the law, the victims are the first to do it, and there are about a thousand of them. So it is unlikely that the case will be transferred to the court for consideration quickly," he said in a conversation with TASS.

Before that, on January 14, Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin said that 27 defendants were brought as accused in the criminal case of the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall. Investigators continue to work out other persons who may be involved in the organization, preparation and financing of the crime, he added.

The terrorist attack in "Crocus City Hall" took place on March 22 last year. Terrorists in camouflage stormed into the building, they carried out shooting and set fire to the concert hall. The attack killed 145 people and injured 551.

The Russian Investigative Committee 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. During interrogations, the accused confirmed that their actions were supervised by a certain man through voice messages in the messenger Telegram.

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