"Moscow’s Basmanny District Court selected a preventive measure against Sharipzoda Muhammad Zoeir, a native of Tajikistan, accused of committing a crime under the b paragraph of part 3 of article 205 of the Russian criminal code (terrorist act)," the court’s spokesperson said.
The main suspects in the case — all citizens of Tajikistan — tried to flee the scene in a car but were detained and charged with terrorism. Russian authorities believe their plan was to flee to Ukraine, where the masterminds of the attack had arranged a safe haven for them. An investigation is underway.
