Masharipov was formally remanded in custody over the weekend.
He was captured in Istanbul in January, after a two-week manhunt.
Masharipov’s wife and more than a dozen others had also been arrested.
The attack on the Reina nightclub just hours after midnight sent shockwaves through Turkey.
The report noted that a number of people killed were from Middle Eastern countries.
