MOSCOW, October 30 - RAPSI. Ilyas Saidov, an alleged member of a terrorist group, will be brought to court on several serious charges including planning a terrorist attack on Red Square in 2010, Marina Gridneva, the official spokeswoman for the Prosecutor General's Office said on Tuesday.
"Deputy Prosecutor General Viktor Grin has approved the indictment against the armed group member, Ilyas Saidov," she said.
Saidov has been accused of banditry, terrorism, multiple murders, as well as other crimes, which include attempting to organize a terrorist attack in Moscow. The Criminal Code stipulates a maximum of life imprisonment sentence for these crimes.
Investigators believe that Saidov joined the terrorist group in 2010 voluntarily. The group was headed by Ibragimkhalil Daudov and its main aim was to have the North Caucasus separate from Russia.
"In the same year, Saidov, jointly with his accomplices, committed two attempted murders of law enforcement officers and servicemen, the murder of civilians, three terrorist attacks and three attempted terrorist attacks; he also illegally stored, transferred and carried fire arms, ammunition and explosive devices," Gridneva said.
