MOSCOW, February 6. /TASS/. The Investigative Committee of Russia has concluded the criminal investigation into the deadly terrorist assault on the Crocus City Hall concert venue just outside Moscow, Oleg Vlasov, a lawyer for one of the accused, told TASS.
"Investigative actions in the case have been finished, the parties have started to review its documents. According to the law, the victims are the first to examine, but there are about a thousand of them. So, it is unlikely that the case will quickly be submitted to the court for consideration," Vlasov said.
The terror assault on the Crocus City Hall concert venue in the city of Krasnogorsk just a stone’s throw from Moscow’s city limits was staged on the evening of March 22. The attack claimed 144 lives and left 551 more people injured. Four perpetrators were detained in Russia’s Bryansk Region bordering Ukraine by the next morning. Later, seven more suspected accomplices were also detained and sent into custody.
