In January 2022, Aliaksandr was detained over two comments that he, while working in Poland in the summer of 2021, had left on social media under a post about an officer of the GUBOPiK (the Main Directorate for Combating Organised Crime and Corruption). He was held in custody until the trial.

In February 2022, he was found guilty in a criminal case opened under the article "Insulting a representative of the authorities" and sentenced to restricted freedom without referral to an open-type facility ("home chemistry") and a fine.

In December 2023, the court considered replacing his "home chemistry" with a harsher punishment. The outcome of the hearing is unknown.
