Security services had detained 11 persons during the weekend in connection with the deadly shooting spree

Moscow’s Basmanny Court has arrested three more suspects allegedly connected to Friday’s deadly terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall, the court’s press service has reported. The detainees will remain in custody until at least May 22.

A day earlier, the same court arrested four men who investigators believe carried out the shooting spree, which has left at least 133 people dead and scores wounded.

The three suspects – Aminchon Islomov, Dilovar Islomov and their 62-year-old father Isroil Islomov – are accused of being involved in organizing the terrorist act, according to Russia’s Investigative Committee.

In an application to the court shared on the service’s Telegram channel, investigators claimed that one of the gunmen, Shamsidin Fariduni, is believed to have recruited Aminchon Islomov in January to join his organized terrorist group, with the goal of committing a terrorist act. No later than on March 11, he is thought to have also recruited Dilovar Islomov, investigators say, demanding the immediate arrest of the two brothers as well as their father.

According to Russian media outlets, Dilovar Islomov is believed to have been the last owner of the white Renault which was allegedly used as a getaway vehicle by the terrorists as part of their plan. However, no official details as to how the three relatives were connected to the incident have yet been made public.
