Denis, an activist and truck driver, was arrested on April 26, 2021, as part of a criminal case opened under the article “conspiracy or other actions committed with the aim of seizing state power.”
In early June 2022, the KGB completed its preliminary investigation, after which it became known that new charges had been brought against him. In September 2022, Denis was convicted of "active participation in group actions that grossly violate public order."
He was released in January 2023, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
