The case of the third person accused of preparing a terrorist attack in Sunzha has reached court

An 18-year-old resident of Ingushetia faces compulsory treatment in a psychiatric hospital for preparing an attack on security forces and a terrorist attack in Sunzha.

As reported by "Kavkazsky Uzel", at the end of April, the investigation reported that the case of two young people accused of preparing an attack on security forces and an Orthodox church in Sunzha had been transferred to court. The case of the third defendant was separated into a separate proceeding. Investigators did not report any other defendants in the case, although there were initially six detainees.

The prosecution is demanding compulsory medical measures for an 18-year-old resident of Ingushetia, accused of a number of terrorist crimes, including preparing a terrorist attack in Sunzha. He was a minor at the time of the crimes.

The case of the young man, who was initially arrested and then temporarily placed in a psychiatric hospital, has been referred to court. Since the accused was diagnosed with a mental disorder, he faces compulsory treatment, the Investigative Committee of Ingushetia reported on August 7.

In addition to preparing a terrorist attack and illegal trafficking of weapons and explosives, the young man is accused of participating in an illegal armed group and involvement in terrorist activities. The investigation believes that while preparing a terrorist attack in Sunzha and an armed attack on security forces, the young man illegally acquired automatic firearms and explosive devices, which he kept in a hiding place on the outskirts of the Sunzhensky District.

“In addition, the defendant persuaded two local residents to commit terrorist crimes,” the official Telegram channel of the republican Investigative Committee said.

The case of the other two defendants is still being heard in court, the department noted.
