The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) detained a Russian citizen and two people from the Central Asian region in Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Omsk, as investigations continued into the Crocus City Hall attack.
Footage released on Thursday shows officers detaining the suspects and leading them to a car.
"In the course of operational and investigative measures it was established that two of the detainees transferred money for the purchase of firearms and vehicles used in the terrorist attack, the third - directly participated in the recruitment of accomplices of the terrorist attack and financing of its perpetrators," the FSB Public Relations Centre claimed.
The location of the Russian Federal Security Service’s footage could not be independently verified.
Late on March 22, 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.
Over 140 people were reported to have been killed while several suspects were captured and remanded in custody until May 22 on charges of 'terrorism'.
President Vladimir Putin described it as a 'barbaric terrorist act' and added that some suspects had been caught trying to cross to Ukraine. While he added that 'radical Islamists' were responsible, he also hit out at the US for 'trying through various channels to convince its satellites and other countries of the world that, according to their intelligence, there is allegedly no trace of Kiev in the Moscow terrorist attack'.
"We want to know who ordered it," he added, while the Russian Investigative Committee subsequently said it had evidence of links to 'Ukrainian nationalists'.
Following the attack, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it 'categorically denies' accusations of Kiev’s involvement. US national security spokesperson John Kirby called the Russian Investigative Committee's allegations 'nonsense and propaganda'. Earlier, the United States claimed that it was a 'terrorist attack that was conducted by ISIS' and that there was 'absolutely no evidence that the government of Ukraine had anything to do with this attack'.
