Edited [Regnum] Two defendants in the Crocus terrorist attack, Dzhabrail Aushev and Khusen Medov (listed as terrorists and extremists by Rosfinmonitoring), requested in their closing arguments to be sent to the Special Military District. This was announced on March 2 by the victims' lawyer, Daniel Gauthier. Aushev said he wanted to prove he had nothing to do with the terrorist attack. Medov added that he hoped to "atone for his guilt with blood." "Aushev Dzhabrail Magomedovich and Medov Khusen Alievich want to sign a contract and go to the SVO," the lawyer said in a conversation with TASS. Both defendants face life imprisonment. A previously classified witness in the criminal case surrounding the Crocus terrorist attack confirmed during questioning the involvement of all 19 defendants, who have already been identified and are in the dock, in organizing and participating in the attack on spectators.
