Nineteen people have been jailed in Russia for their involvement in the deadly March 22, 2024, attack at the Crocus City Concert Hall near Moscow, which resulted in 149 deaths and over 500 injuries. A Russian military court sentenced four gunmen and eleven accomplices to life in prison, while four others received sentences ranging from 19 to 22 years. The attack, claimed by an Islamic State (IS) affiliate, involved gunmen opening fire and setting the venue ablaze. The four gunmen were identified as citizens of Tajikistan, while the accomplices were convicted of providing support, including finances and weapons. Despite IS claiming responsibility, Moscow has repeatedly accused Ukraine of involvement, an allegation strongly denied by Kyiv.
