WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The authorities took into custody Syed Raheel Farook, a brother of one of the San Bernardino shooters, his wife Tatiana Farook and her sister Mariya Chernykh, both from Russia, the Los Angeles Times reported citing a law enforcement official.
The law enforcement authorities have accused the three people of lying to US federal investigators and engaging in marriage fraud, according to media reports.
The marriage of Raheel Farook to Tatiana was also questioned in the beginning of the investigation into the December assault, according to media reports.
The December 2015 attack in San Bernardino claimed the lives of 14 people and injured more than two dozen, when an Islamic couple — US-born Syed Rizwan Farook and his Pakistani wife Tashfeen Malik — attacked the Inland Regional Center.
