The defendants Isroil Islomov, Ainchon Islomov and Dilovar Islomov (father and two sons) will be detained until May 22. According to the investigation, Dilovar Ismailov, 24 years old, was born in Dushanbe (Tajikistan), then moved to Russia, obtained Russian citizenship and worked as a taxi driver.

This person was recruited by Shamsidin Fariduni, one of the perpetrators of the terrorist attack, before March 11, 2024. The defendant owned the Renault car that the attackers used to flee the crime scene. However, in February, the defendant is said to have sold the car, but the civil liability insurance contract for the car still belonged to Islomov and was not renewed. Ainchon Islomov was involved in the criminal group before January 2024. In court, the defendant declared his innocence.

Earlier, on March 23, security forces arrested four perpetrators of the terrorist attack, citizens of Tajikistan, including Dalerjon Mirzoev, Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, Shamsidin Fariduni and Muhammadsobir Fayzov. Police quickly brought the arrested men to Moscow. All four were charged with terrorist attacks resulting in death in an organized group. The penalty for this crime can be up to life imprisonment.
