[Regnum] A court in the Tver region acquitted a district police officer charged with negligence for the fictitious registration of two defendants in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack case. This was stated in court documents on May 26.

As RIA Novosti explains, citing court documents, senior district police officer Anton Petukhov was accused of negligence for failing to carry out preventative measures against two defendants in the Crocus terrorist attack case, as well as the owner of a house in the Tver region. The owner of the house had fictitiously registered several people in his home and was found guilty of 14 such counts.

It is noted that the district police officer failed to take action to prevent the violations and failed to notify the immigration office of the possible fictitious registration. Petukhov also made a knowingly unlawful decision to refuse to initiate a criminal case for fictitious registration against the property owner. Due to the officer's inaction, the fictitiously registered individuals were able to participate in the terrorist attack at the Crocus shopping center.

A court in the Tver region acquitted Petukhov. The court ruled that there was no apparent connection between the officer's performance of his duties and the terrorist attack committed by the perpetrators, and therefore, Petukhov's actions did not constitute negligence.

All four were sentenced to life imprisonment. Eleven accomplices to the terrorist attack received the same sentence. Four others involved in the crime were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 19 years, 11 months to 22 years, 10 months.
