The Moscow court sentenced Georgian citizen Aleksandre Inasaridze to prison in absentia on charges of terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, Russian state news agency TASS reports.

According to TASS, the Basmani Court of Moscow granted the request of the investigation to imprison Inasaridze in absentia as a preventive measure.

A few hours earlier, the Basman Court of Moscow sentenced the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasiliy Maliuk, to pre-trial detention in absentia as a preventive measure in the case of terrorism.

We remind you that the explosion on the Crimean bridge took place on October 8, 2022. A truck loaded with explosive devices exploded on the bridge. At that time, Moscow said that probably two citizens of Georgia, Sandro Inasaridze and a broker named Levan, participated in the organization.
