Chief Inspector at Customs.

On October 10, 2023, the Minsk City Court began a closed trial of three customs officers: Yevgeny Gurinovich, Viktor Novik, and Vladimir Zhuromsky. They were charged under eight articles of the Criminal Code. Human rights activists have now learned that only 31-year-old customs inspector Yevgeny Gurinovich will be tried in this case, on February 27, 2024. The trial location is Pretrial Detention Center No. 1. Whether this could be due to the man's health condition is unknown. His case has likely been separated into separate proceedings, but the trial for the others has not yet been scheduled.

After his arrest, law enforcement officers severely injured Evgeny's back, forcing him to use crutches .

On May 24, 2024, Evgeniy had his appeal heard.

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.
