Dalerjon Mirzoev

The head of RT Margarita Simonyan in her telegram channel called Mirzoev “the leader of the ghouls” and published a video of interrogation. On it, he says that 15–20 days (perhaps a month) lived in a hostel in the Dmitrovsky district of Moscow with a certain Muhammad and was looking for a job. Probably refers to Muhammadsobir Fayzov, who is also arrested.

Mirzoev says that in Telegram he met a certain Abdullah - this happened about 10-12 days before the terrorist attack in Crocus. Together with Muhammad, they acquired a car from the relatives of Abdullo to work as taxi drivers.

During interrogation and in court, Mirzoev spoke with the help of a translator, since he does not understand the Russian language.

Channel "Caution, news!" It is noteworthy that the accused at a court hearing was very wheezing. As it became known there, Mirzoev is married, he has four children - among them twins, who are one and a half years old.

Saidraks Murodali Rachabalizoda

Rachabalizoda was born on February 4, 1994, he is married, he has one child. Where he is registered in Russia, he does not remember , there is no work. Education is an unfinished secondary.

This is exactly the suspect to whom the security forces cut off the ear. So the video of his interrogation begins: “Come on, fucking, how can you fuck! I'm sitting nearby, you have one ear left, fucking! "

The accused does not understand the Russian language well and practically cannot speak Russian. There are also a video in the telegram channels in which people in camouflage make the detainee to chew his own cut ear.

According to RT, Rachabalizoda lived in Podolsk. In 2018, he was fined five thousand rubles for an excess of the 90-day stay in Russia and obliged to make a “controlled independent departure” from the country.

Shamsidin Fariduni

Fariduni was born on September 17, 1998 in Tajikistan, worked as a little worker at the Parquet factory in Podolsk.

In the video of the interrogation, Fariduni says that he flew from Turkey on March 4, 2024: according to him, he went there to cross the border “for the sake of documents” (the permitted deadline for the stay of Tajikistan citizens in Russia without completing additional documents is 90 days for 6 months). Eight photos from Istanbul were found on his Instagram account, they were all taken on February 23.

During the interrogation, Fariduni says that he shot the audience “somewhere over half a million” rubles, and unknown people were handed over to him, contacting him through telegrams. According to Fariduni, he transferred half the amount to the card. He lost a bank card in the forest during the flight from the security forces during the detention.

He says that he “studied”, listening to the “lesson” in Telegram. After that, he was written by the “Assistant Preacher” (from whom Fariduni “studied”). He does not know his name and surname, but this assistant "promised somewhere a million rubles."

Soon after these words, the interrogation stops: Fariduni begins to shake, and a man, apparently, is one of the operatives who detained the suspect, - says : “Look, now he is cocky, he must now be drugs for drugs ...”.

However, the interrogation was not completed, as it is clear from the second video, published later. Then, in the telegram channels, a photo spread, where Fariduni lies on the floor in a room similar to the gym. The pants on it are lowered and the wires from the Ta-57 military-field telephone, which is used to torture by an electric current, lead to the PAKA area.

“I am used to asking prisoners questions, but they answer me. To begin with, I always show the Ta-57-the telephone device Field. If you twist it, an electric discharge will occur. He will not kill a person, but he will force a suffering, ”Yegor Guzenko,“ militarycate ”, leading the telegram channel“ Thirteenth ”, told the“ cold ”.

On March 24, information also appeared that Fariduni was visited by Crocus City Hall two and a half weeks before the attack. According to Baza, he was at one of the events on March 7 and got into the frame of photographers. Osint analyst Ruslan Leviev confirms that in the photo it was Fariduni-on his Instagram, the accused published photos where he dressed in the same jacket.

On Monday, March 25, Baza's telegram channel telegram channel has published a taxi driver’s story who brought one of the terrorists (namely Fariduni) from Crocus just on March 7th.

According to the taxi driver, Fariduni ordered the car when the concert just began (Alessandro Safin performed on March 7 in Crocus), so the driver was surprised and asked why he left so early. Fariduni said that he did not like the concert: "He threw the money down the wind." He allegedly bought a ticket for eight thousand from the reseller. Also, according to Fariduni, he told him that he had recently returned from Turkey, was going to earn apartments in Russia and transport his wife. Fariduni also said that he rented an apartment in Russia from a fellow countryman for 50 thousand rubles.

The taxi driver drew attention to the complaint of Fariduni: "Last time the trip was cheaper." This may indicate that he had previously been to Crocus. The driver recognized Fariduni from the photo.

According to the Shot Telegram channel, it was the curators who were in Turkey came to Fariduni, and only with him the “preacher” who ordered the terrorist attack was in contact with him. According to the SHOT source, it was he who conducted briefings, transmitted “lessons”, distributed roles. The channel also claims that the suspects were not familiar before.

According to the SHOT source, during the interrogation, Fariduni said that half a million rubles were a fee for all four, and not for everyone. They received an advance payment - 250 thousand rubles for the Fariduni card. Translations were carried out by several transactions. SHOT claims that Fariduni, along with another detainee, Fayzov, went to Crocus at least five times before the terrorist attack, including the days of Leps and Shaman concerts. Fariduni was seen in the Crocus lobby the day before Leps's performance, when he tried to find out from a 16-year-old employee, where what is in the building.

Fayzov Muhammadsobir

Fayzov is 19 years old, he is a citizen of Tajikistan, worked as a hairdresser in Ivanovo, he was also registered there.

Fayzova was interrogated in the hospital ward: he was wounded during the detention. In the video, he inaudibly says that he received documents for staying in Russia at the airport. He was delivered to the courtyard directly from the hospital - he was chained to the cart, a catheter with the ureter was inserted into the body.

Journalists discovered two Fayzov profiles in VKontakte. Judging by them, Fayzov was fond of Arabic calligraphy and laid out his calligraphy on the social network. Among the inscriptions that he made, some are accompanied by a Russian translation: “Oh Allah, let my last words be shahada ” and “every soul will taste death.”

“An ordinary guy. This can be found everywhere. He can cut you, sell you bread, play football with you, and then he can kill. How is it possible? " - So describes Fayzova by his former client Ruslan in a conversation with “Caution, News!”. Together with his son, Ruslan went to the master in the Barbershop “Square”, which is located in the Moskovsky microdistrict in Ivanovo. According to him, Fayzov perfectly understood him and spoke Russian with a small accent. At the same time, during interrogation and in court, he spoke through the translator and the only detainees specified his procedural subtleties incomprehensible to him.

According to BAZA, now residents of the Ivanovo region are threatening the owners of the Square salon to arrange a fire and demand that they leave Russia.
