The four perpetrators of the terrorist attack were detained on March 23 in the Bryansk region. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that they tried to escape and were moving towards Ukraine, where a “window” had been prepared for them on the Ukrainian side to cross the border. The Moscow court arrested them, they are Dalerjon Mirzoev, Murodali Rachabalizoda, Faridun Shamsiddin and Muhammadsobir Fayzov, they were charged with committing a terrorist attack resulting in death as part of an organized group (clause “b” of part 3 of article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
The President noted that a total of 11 people were detained, and security forces are working to uncover the entire terrorist base. According to him, the terrorist attack was carried out by radical Islamists. FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov noted that the Islamists alone could not have prepared this terrorist attack; they were helped. He noted that primary data from the detainees confirms the Ukrainian trail, and Russian intelligence services think that the United States, Britain and Ukraine are behind the terrorist attack.
Putin noted that Russia was faced not just with a carefully cynically planned terrorist attack, but with a prepared and organized mass murder of civilians. The President emphasized that all perpetrators, organizers and customers of this crime will suffer fair and inevitable punishment.
