Petrenko said “As of now, there are 10 suspects in the criminal case. Three of them, Bakhram Ergashev, Ibragimzhon Ermatov and Makhamadyusuf Mirzaalimov, have been charged with committing crimes under clause b, part 3 of article 205 and part 2 of article 222.1 of the Russian Criminal Code (“A Terror Attack” and “Illegal Acquisition, Transfer, Sale, Storage, Transportation or Carriage of Explosives or Explosive Devices.”
She added that the other (alleged) accomplices in the terror attack will also be charged shortly. Investigators are currently working with the affected persons and the severity of harm caused to their health will be established during forensic studies, she added.
Petrenko also said “Investigators also continue identifying each of the suspect’s contacts. As part of the investigation, investigators of the Russian Investigative Committee will give a comprehensive and legal assessment of the criminal actions of all the persons complicit in the St. Petersburg metro events, qualifying them in compliance with the norms of Russia’s Criminal Code.”
The bombing happened on April 3 on a metro carriage when the targeted train was moving from Tekhnologichesky Institut Station to Sennaya Ploshchad Station in St. Petersburg. The blast claimed the lives of 15 people, including the suicide bomber, while 102 passengers were injured.
The incident caused several scandals other than the bombing itself. The Kyrgyz-born, alleged mastermind of the attack, Abror Azimov was detained in Russia’s Moscow region in April.
His lawyer said he admitted to having been one of the masterminds behind the bombing. Since then, there have been raised concerns about how his confession was obtained.

Patently false accusations, profiling of Muslims and the arguably illegal interference by local state investigators cost the falsely accused Ilyas Nikitin his job as a driver.
Several Russian media shot their mouth off when they falsely hung Ilyas Nikitin, a Russian Muslim, out to dry as “the primary suspect” in the case of the metro bombing in St Petersburg.
A good headline that sells obviously being more important than fact checking and the live, livelihood and rights the victim of vulture media.
Shocked after discovering his photo in the media and obviously concerned about his safety, Nikitin went to the nearest police station where he explained his innocence.

However, his ordeal didn’t end there. On Tuesday, in Moscow, Nikitin was removed from an airplane bound for Orenburg after passengers who had seen his photo in the media before were terrified and refused to believe that the reports about him had been false. Obviously the retraction didn’t make “the front page headlines” so most people hadn’t heard anything about his innocence.
As if that wasn’t enough, on Wednesday, Nikitin lost his job. Speaking with the Islam News website Nikitin said that he had been let go from his job on request of local state investigators.
Ilyas Nikitin was raised in the Bashkortostan, between the Volga River and the Ural Mountains. He graduated from the Ryazan Military Academy, and served with Russia’s armed forces in Chechnya.
He is now an army reservist captain, he works – or rather worked – as a truck driver. Nikitin told Islam News “Reporters, who just called me a terrorist, have hounded me, my family, and my friends. As a result, now I can’t even board an airplane. I’m begging you please to stop chasing after me. Just let me live in peace.”
International observers, independent media and rights organizations will be monitoring the trial against the accused closely, aware that a miscarriage of justice is as serious as the bombing that led to the investigation and trials.
