Yuri was arrested and convicted on several charges, including illegal possession of a bladed weapon. It all started with a video of a BMW driver beating a man with a white-red-white flag. The video went viral on social media, and the address of the driver, Dmitry Davydyuk, was published. According to investigators, three Minsk residents decided to "teach" the driver a lesson by slashing his tires.

He is expected to be released in the spring of 2026.
