"The Investigative Committee will consider in accordance with the procedure established by law the appeal of the State Duma members and public figures concerning the need to investigate the organization, financing and carrying out of terrorist acts by the United States and other Western countries directed against Russia," the news release reads.
The Duma members sent a statement to the prosecutor general's offices of five countries (Russia, Germany, Cyprus, the United States and France), as well as to the Investigative Committee of Russia calling for the immediate investigation and prevention of financing of acts of international terrorism. In its annex, the legislators provided direct evidence concerning the masterminds, organizers, perpetrators, and those covering up and financing these crimes. They believe that the United States and its allies carry out terrorist attacks in Russia with the hands of the terrorist group Islamic State (banned in Russia) and Ukrainian secret services.
