According to the prosecutor's office , Artem decided to deposit money through an information kiosk in June of this year, but was unable to complete the planned transaction. So, upon returning home, he "called a contact center employee at Belarusbank and, during the conversation, made negative comments about the President of the Republic of Belarus."
Investigative authorities and the prosecutor's office qualified this as a "public insult," as it "was committed in the presence of an outsider—an employee of the contact center of JSC ASB Belarusbank, who subsequently conveyed this information to others (management)." Essentially, the bank employee herself "revealed" the contents of a private conversation.
The investigation also determined that Artem's statements were "humiliating, undermining the authority of the Head of State, his personal and professional qualities, as well as the authority of state power as a whole."
He was scheduled to be released onNovember25,2025.
