Dmitry, a Beltelecom employee, was detained at his workplace on October 28, 2021, as part of a criminal case opened under the articles "illegal seizure of computer information," "inciting social hatred and discord," and "illegal actions in relation to private information and personal data."

In December 2022, he was found guilty of allegedly "extracting personal data of security officials, civil servants, and judges from a database" and sentenced to imprisonment in a penal colony.

Sentences

Trial outcome 05.12.2022
6 years 6 months of imprisonment in colony under general regime conditions.

Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
