The head of the Investigative Committee told Putin that those involved in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus told about those who ordered the crime

The alleged terrorists testified about those who ordered the terrorist attack at Crocus. The head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, stated this at a meeting with Vladimir Putin.

“The four perpetrators of the terrorist attack have been charged and taken into custody. All the accused, during interrogation and in court, admitted their guilt and gave detailed testimony about the circumstances of the crime, about the customers and persons who assisted in the preparation for the terrorist attack,” Bastrykin said.

The head of the Investigative Committee did not specify who, judging by the testimony of the accused, were the customers.

Bastrykin also stated that three alleged accomplices of the terrorists (they were arrested on March 25, a few hours before the meeting) helped them with an apartment, provided them with a car and transported money for them.

• Putin earlier at the same meeting said that the Russian authorities “know that the crime was committed by radical Islamists,” but stressed that the main thing is to find its customer. He suggested that “this atrocity may be only a link in a whole series of attempts by those who have been fighting our country since 2014 at the hands of the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime.”
