Dmitry was arrested in September 2021 in connection with a criminal case opened for online comments following the deaths of KGB officer Dmitry Fedosyuk and IT specialist Andrei Zeltser in Minsk. He was initially charged with "insulting a government official," but during the trial, it emerged that the charge was for "insulting Lukashenko" for a comment he made on August 12, 2020, on the social media platform VKontakte. At that time, Dmitry commented on the news under his own name on the TUT.BY page.
In November 2022, he was found guilty of "inciting hatred or discord" and "insulting Lukashenko" and sentenced to imprisonment.
He was released in August 2024, having fully served his sentence.
