MOSCOW: Four men accused of involvement in the Moscow concert hall attack that killed at least 137 people were charged with terrorism on Sunday (Mar 24) and ordered to be detained pending trial.
All four risk a life sentence in prison, a statement from Moscow’s Basmanny district court said.
The men were ordered to be held until May 22, but that could be extended depending on when the date for their trial is fixed.
The court said two of the defendants had pleaded guilty, one of them, from Tajikistan, “entirely acknowledged his guilt”, said the statement.
Officials have already said the gunmen were all foreign nationals.
