Alexander, TUT.BY's Deputy Director for Technical Issues, was detained on May 18, 2021, as part of a criminal case brought against TUT.BY on charges of large-scale tax evasion.
In March 2022, he was released from pretrial detention on bail. The charges against him were not dropped.
In April 2023, it became known that the criminal prosecution against Alexander and eight other defendants in the “TUT.BY case” was terminated based on the positive consideration of the petitions for release from criminal liability previously submitted by them.
