Moscow attack: why the Kremlin stages its brutality against the suspects. At least 139 people died during this attack targeting a Moscow concert hall, the Crocus City Hall.
Two of the four suspects pleaded guilty after the hearing which was held behind closed doors. They were then all placed in pre-trial detention for at least two months, which corresponds to the legal time limit. The wide broadcast on television of the swollen faces of the suspects did not fail to spark the start of controversy around the use of torture.
