The district newspaper wrote about the basis for the criminal case: "being in a state of alcoholic intoxication in the center of the city of Lepel, near the administrative building, in full view of strangers, with the purpose of desecrating the state symbol of the Republic of Belarus - the State Flag of the Republic of Belarus, thereby expressing an offensive attitude towards the state symbols of the Republic of Belarus, he jumped up and tore out with his hands the wooden pole with the cloth of the State Flag of the Republic of Belarus attached to it. In doing so, he tore off the bracket from its attachment point and damaged the wooden pole, after which he took the State Flag of the Republic of Belarus with the pole to Volodarsky Street in Lepel, where he left it on the street and disappeared."
