The Contractor of the attack in the St. Petersburg metro was deported from Turkey a few months before the explosion

Akbarzhon Dzhalilov, who arranged a terrorist attack in the St. Petersburg metro on April 3, was deported from Turkey in December 2016.

Jalilov arrived in Turkey in November 2015 and stayed in the country for a little over a year. In December, law enforcement agencies brought him to the “black list”, banned the entrance to the country for 5 years and deported. The reasons for this decision are not indicated.

Information about the deportation of Jalilov was confirmed by the source of RBC, close to the Turkish government. According to him, Jalilov exceeded his stay in the country.

“He was offered to pay a large fine or deportation, blacklisting and a ban on visiting the country for 5 years. Jalilov chose the second option. To leave for Russia, he had to contact the Russian Consulate General of Turkey, ”said the interlocutor of RBC. The General of the Russian Federation has not yet been responded to the request of publications.

The Turkish edition of Yeni Akit recalls that in June 2015, the Black List was included in the “black list” and was deported from Turkey Ibrahim Bakrowi, who in March 2016 arranged a terrorist attack in Brussels. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkish law enforcement agencies warned Belgium that Bakrowi was associated with extremists.
