The Investigative Committee of Russia (IC RF) has established that the money coming through the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma Holdings has been used to finance terrorist attacks in Russia and abroad over the past few years.
According to the version of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, the money coming through Burisma Holdings was used to finance terrorist attacks for the sake of eliminating prominent political and public figures and causing economic damage.
“It has been established that the money coming through commercial organisations, in particular, the oil and gas company Burisma Holdings, operating in Ukraine, has been used over the past few years to carry out terrorist acts in the Russian Federation,” the agency’s spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said.
At the moment, the investigation in cooperation with other special services and financial intelligence continues to establish the sources of funds and specific individuals from Western authorities and public organisations. The Investigative Committee is also working out the links between the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks and foreign curators, organisers and sponsors.
The Ukrainian company Burisma Holdings is owned by Mykola Zlochevskyy and is linked to the family of the US president. In 2014, US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board of directors.
The shooting and fire occurred in the evening of 22 March before a concert at the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow. On 24 March, the Basmanny court of Moscow sent four defendants in the case into custody. All of them are charged with committing a terrorist act resulting in death as part of an organised group (paragraph “b” of part 3 of article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). They face life imprisonment.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin said that all the perpetrators, organisers and customers who organised the terrorist attack at the Crocus near Moscow would be punished “severely”.
