Moscow's Basmanny court ordered the ninth Crocus City Hall attack suspect, Nazrimad Lutfulloi, to be remanded in custody until May 22, in a decision on Friday.

Footage shows the man in the courtroom listening to the verdict. Judge Timur Vakhrameev read out the ruling stating, "the court has decided to remand the accused Nazrimad Lutfulloi in custody as a measure of restraint, to set the term of his detention for one month and 24 days, that is, until May 22, 2024."

Lutfulloi faces charges under Russian law of committing a 'terrorist act resulting in the intentional infliction of death to a person'.

Late on Friday, 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.

At time of publication, over 140 people were reported to have been killed. On Sunday, March 24, the Basmanny Court of Moscow ordered a number of suspects to be remanded in custody until May 22, on charges of 'terrorism'.

President Vladimir Putin declared a day of mourning and described the attack as a 'barbaric terrorist act' in a televised address the following day, adding that suspects had been detained close to the border.

"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.

On Monday, he reported that 'radical Islamists' were responsible but 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'.

Ukraine has not responded to the committee's latest claims. Following the attack, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it 'categorically denies' accusations of Kiev’s involvement.

US national security spokesperson John Kirby called the 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'.
