MOSCOW, April 27 — The Basmanny District Court of Moscow has arrested Dzhumokhon Kurbonov, the twelfth defendant in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack case, who will remain in custody until May 22.
Sputnik reported that earlier today, the investigators requested the court to arrest Kurbonov.
“To satisfy the request of the investigation to choose a measure of restraint against the accused Kurbonov in the form of remand in custody until May 22,” said the presiding judge.
Kurbonov allegedly provided his accomplices with means of communication and money to pay bills, the Moscow City Court said.
Kurbonov himself agreed to his arrest, the defendant’s lawyer noted.
On March 22, several armed men broke into the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow and started shooting indiscriminately at concert-goers.
They also started a fire in one of the auditoriums, which was full of people ahead of a concert. The attack left 145 people dead and many more injured.
The four main suspects in the case tried to flee the scene in a car but were detained and charged with terrorism.
