Description

Moscow's Basmanny court ordered the arrest of Yakubzhoni Yusufzody on Monday, the tenth suspect implicated in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack case, until May 22.

Footage from the courtroom shows Yusufzody listening to the verdict as the court determines his fate.

Yusufzody faces charges of committing a terrorist offence in connection with the attack.

According to the Russian Investigative Committee press service, the investigation revealed that Yusufzody allegedly transferred money to an accomplice a few days before the terrorist attack. The funds were purportedly intended to secure accommodation for the terrorists involved in the attack. Furthermore, the investigation alleges that Yusufzody transferred a portion of the funds to one of the perpetrators after the attack had been carried out.

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.

At the time of publication, 144 people were reported to have been killed and 551 injured. 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'.

Vladimir Putin declared a day of mourning and described the attack as a 'barbaric terrorist act' in a televised address on Saturday, adding that the 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 said 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 at the time of publication. 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'.
