According to the investigation, from August 20, 2020, to February 20, 2022, Tatyana used Telegram channels to call on chat participants to commit violent acts against government officials and law enforcement agencies. She also collected, systematized, and disseminated information about the victims' private lives without their consent, including prosecutors and judges, allegedly harming their rights and legitimate interests. Some of the messages concerned Lukashenko.

According to Baipol, Tatyana was lured by Belarusian intelligence services: a young man convinced her to return to Belarus, promising to resolve all issues, after which she was detained by the KGB in August 2022.

In March 2023, Tatyana was convicted on a number of charges, including "inciting other social hatred and discord" and "insult," and sentenced to imprisonment and a large compensation payment to the "victims."

On December 13, 2025, she was released following a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Ukraine.

Alexandra works as a manager at the logistics company Trans Solutions.

On April 21, 2023, the appeal was considered, and the verdict came into force.

Grigory returned to Belarus in March 2022, where he was detained. The reason for the return was the mother's illness (cancer was found), and then the cancer was found in the father.

Grigory has not been in Belarus for a year and a half: since the end of November 2020. As he told the court, the reason for his departure was the inability to find a job in his specialty, as well as the need to deal with the documents of his grandmother (a citizen of Ukraine, but there is a Belarusian residence permit).

The man was convicted for participating in protest actions in Brest in 2020 (in the case of round dances).
