54-year-old Sergei is accused of facilitating extremist activities. He is invited to return to Belarus and come to the department of the Investigative Committee for the Grodno region.
The man is accused of participating in protests and writing comments in protest chats. A number of photos and videos from the protests were found on Vitaly's phone, which GUBOP officers claim were his.
In 2024, he was added to the Russian wanted list. He also went through a trial to change his regime.
The Investigative Committee began the process of special proceedings against the ex-director of the Grodno children's hospice Olga Velichko. “Special proceedings are proceedings in a criminal case against an accused who is outside the Republic of Belarus and is avoiding appearing before the body conducting the criminal proceedings.” That is, special proceedings are actually the first step towards trials in absentia of those who are abroad, recently legalized in Belarus. In July 2022, Alexander Lukashenko signed a law on amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code, which allow Belarusians who are abroad to be tried in absentia and even sentenced to death.
