Alexander was arrested in March 2021 in connection with a criminal case opened under the article "threat of violence against an internal affairs officer." In May of that year, he was convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment in an open correctional facility.
In September 2021, Alexander, who was serving a sentence for a previous case, faced another court hearing for "insulting a government official." The charges stemmed from a comment he made about Ruslan Shumakher, a district police officer from Babruisk, in a Telegram chat deemed extremist. Alexander was sentenced to restricted freedom and ordered to pay compensation to the "victim."
He was released in December 2023, having fully served his sentence as imposed by the court.
