Suicide bombers left carnage in their wake killing 42 people and injuring hundreds more after striking at Ataturk Airport on Tuesday night.
Now it is claimed the man believed to have orchestrated the attack, Chechen national Ahmed Chataev, had been granted refugee status in Austria enabling him to dodge extradition to Russia where he was wanted in connection with terrorism offences.
Chataev, a Russian citizen, is understood to have joined the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2015 after fleeing to Syria.
Andrey Przhezdomsky, the deputy chairman of the Russian Investigative Committee, said Chataev was responsible for training extremists who would then commit terror attacks in Russia and Europe.
