According to the case materials , Savinsky transferred the equivalent of 50 US dollars to the accounts of funds recognized as “extremist” over the course of a year and a half. At the same time, he repeatedly used his Facebook account. He also created and posted 4 text messages in one of the telegram chats, allegedly aimed at “inciting social hostility in society.”

On January 12, 2024, an appeal hearing was held. The verdict came into force.

On March 19, 2026, he was pardoned after another visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole (among a group of 235 prisoners left in Belarus).
