[Regnum] The Second Western District Military Court has received materials from the criminal case against 19 people accused of committing a terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region. This was reported on July 8 by the court's press service.
Before a date is set for a preliminary hearing or the first hearing on the merits, the judge will need up to 30 days to review all the documents on the 19 defendants.
The case materials consist of almost 450 volumes, including material evidence, as well as the results of dozens of expert examinations conducted on the accused.
The court will need to decide on a building where the hearings will take place. The courtrooms on Gospitalny Lane will not be able to accommodate all the participants in the trial, and the buildings in the Moscow City Court, where the military court periodically held hearings, are closed for repairs.
In addition, it remains unclear whether the trial will be open to the public.
