Serious fire safety violations were found in Russia's Crocus City Hall – one inspection alone revealed more than 30 problems. But Russian propaganda and law enforcement officials had no questions for the owners of the building, the Agalarov family.
▪️ The Agalarov family claims that everything was in order with fire safety in the complex. As "Mozhem Obyasnit" found out, this is not true.
▪️ In 2019, Crocus City Group underwent an unscheduled inspection. As a result, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations found 31 violations. There was no smoke evacuation system in part of the corridors, evacuation plans were missing in several rooms and on the territory of the parking lot. There were also problems with the automatic fire extinguishing system: it "did not provide simultaneous functions for the protection of premises and load-bearing structures of the building".
▪️ Federal TV channels "do not notice" the stories of eyewitnesses to the terrorist attack that many of the evacuation exits were locked during the fire, and those fleeing the fire had to break them out. Russian propaganda pretends that the Agalarov family does not exist at all: Channel One did not mention the owners of Crocus City Hall once during the week.
▪️ A criminal case of negligence has not been opened and the Agalarov family is not considered a suspect, a source familiar with the investigation told MO.
▪️ After other similar disasters, owners and managers have been questioned and arrested. Anatoly Zak, co-founder of the Khromaya Loshad club, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and the ex-owner of the Zimnyaya Vishnya shopping center received eight years for bribing a Gosstroynadzor official who turned a blind eye to violations.
▪️ Araz Agalarov favors Putin's rule for life, although his wife and daughter have become U.S. citizens. The Agalarovs were suspected of meddling in the US election: the family arranged a meeting between Trump's son and a Russian lawyer who was passing dirt on Clinton.
▪️ For 12 years, Crocus City Hall has earned 177 billion rubles (~$1,9 billion) on government contracts. Moreover, in most cases Crocus received orders without any competition.
One of Gulagu. net's sources said that the location of the mass murder was specially chosen by the special services.
▪️ Now there is a "battle for minds" going on, and it is strategically important for Putin to gain the support of Donald Trump, who Kremlin analysts predict will return to the White House.
▪️ Donald Trump was personally at Crocus City Hall as the owner of the Miss Universe pageant in 2013, which was held exactly in the Muslim Magomayev Hall where the March 22, 2024 terrorist attack took place. Moreover, he personally knows and cooperated with Aras and Emin Agalarov. That is why it is so important for Putin and the Russian security services to extract testimony from the detained Tajiks at any cost and present the case in such a way that it was a Ukranian special operation but and not of Putin/FSB and their affiliated agents who conducted the terrorists.
▪️ The source said that Mr. Trump will soon receive a package of materials that should leave no shadow of doubt about this.
▪️ Also, in a new issue of al-Naba newspaper, ISIS stated that the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall on March 22 had a two-stage plan. The first part of the plan was carried out. It included attacking visitors and security guards and then setting the hall on fire, which should have made the job more difficult for the arriving reinforcements of Russian law enforcers. The second part involved fighting law enforcers. The militants had ammunition for this, but there was a malfunction with their weapons, so they were forced to retreat in a hurry.
