The suspect in the killing of top Russian general Igor Kirillov has been charged with an act of terrorism resulting in the death of a person, a notice on Moscow court’s website reads.
Yesterday, Russia said it had detained a man from Uzbekistan over the killing of Kirillov.
Russia’s Federal Security Services (FSB) said the suspect had told them he was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence services and was paid $100,000 (£79,000).
The FSB didn’t name the man but said he was born in 1995.
If convicted, the suspect could be jailed for life.
For context: Kirillov, 54, was killed by a bomb hidden in an electric scooter outside an apartment block in Moscow, a day after Ukraine opened a criminal case against him.
A Ukrainian official said Ukraine’s Security Service, or SBU, carried out the attack, in which the senior general’s assistant also died.
