The Basmanny District Court in Moscow ordered Crocus City Hall attack suspect Alisher Kasimov to be remanded in custody, as seen in footage from Tuesday.
"The accused, Kasimov, Alisher Khatamovich, will be held in custody until May 22, 2024, a period of one month and 27 days. The defence's motion to place the accused under house arrest has been denied," said the judge.
Investigators allege that Kasimov rented a flat to Shamsudin Fariduni, who is also accused of being involved in the attack. Kasimov is charged with committing a 'terrorist act resulting in the intentional infliction of death to a person'.
Late on Friday, unidentified individuals dressed in military fatigues opened fire in the Crocus City Hall, a 6,000-seat multipurpose concert hall where a Russian rock band was set to perform. A massive fire broke out in the building shortly after.
According to the Russian Investigative Committee, the attack left 137 people dead, with 182 injured, at the time of publication. In turn, the Ministry of Health reported that as of Sunday, 110 were being treated in hospitals, and 32 had been released.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations said that rescuers were still clearing the rubble and the collapsed structures inside the building. The Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ('Terrorism').
Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a day of mourning and described the attack as a 'barbaric terrorist act' in a televised address on Saturday, adding that four perpetrators had been found and detained.
“They tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the state border,” Putin said.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed the attackers planned to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border and 'had relevant contacts on the Ukrainian side'.
In turn, the Russian Investigative Committee said that special services had detained four suspects in the Bryansk region, not far from the border with Ukraine.
On Friday, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it 'categorically denies' accusations of Kiev’s involvement in the shooting.
The US and other Western countries attributed the attack to Afghan-based Islamic State affiliate 'ISIS-Khorasan' ('Isis-K'), citing an online channel they said was associated with the group.
The UN press service reported on Friday that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the terrorist attack on the concert hall 'in the strongest possible terms'.
“The Secretary-General expresses his deepest condolences to the families of the victims, the people
and the government of the Russian Federation,” the statement added.
A number of foreign countries, including the United States, Belarus and Turkey, expressed condolences in connection with the shooting in the Moscow region.
