It is expected that the court will hold a hearing on Azimov's arrest shortly.
Russian security operatives detained Azimov near Moscow on Monday. During the operation, the officers confiscated a combat pistol.
Azimov Abror Akhralovich, born in 1990, is a native of the Central Asian region. The FSB said that he trained the St. Pete metro suicide attacker, Akbarzhon Jalilov.
On April 3, an explosion hit a subway car on a stretch between two subway stations in the center of St. Petersburg, leaving over 50 people injured. Russia's Investigative Committee said that a Russian citizen of Kyrgyz descent Akbarzhon Jalilov was the prime suspect, but did not rule out the possibility of the perpetrator having accomplices.
