A pharmacist by education, Dmitry is accused under six articles of the criminal code.

According to the state prosecution , from August 2020 to February 2023, the man transferred 68 euros to the accounts of the Belsat information resource, as well as 68 euros and 78 dollars to the accounts of the Bysol Solidarity Fund. In addition, for more than a year he transferred money from a media resource - "whose materials are recognized as extremist", as well as 33 euros to the accounts of the Kastus Kalinouski Regiment.

The defendant made photocopies of departmental documents that were sent to the pharmacy and sent them to Telegram channels, which Lukashenko's servants call "extremist groups." During the first court hearing, it became known that the documents included information about the verification of military registration cards of those liable for military service, about the disappearance of some Ukrainian-made medicines from the Belarusian market, an appeal from the Belarusian Union of Women in connection with the situation at the border, and a decision by the Ministry of Health. In addition, the man recorded a video from the pharmacy's outdoor surveillance cameras showing the movement of Russian military equipment and also sent it to Telegram channels.

On 28.11.2023, the appeal was heard. The verdict came into force.
