Vitaly was arrested in March 2021 and convicted of "insulting" several Brest judges and Lukashenko. The charges were based on the fact that he filed claims in the court registry containing "negative assessments" that were recognized by experts as offensive.
He was released in December 2022, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
In December 2023, the Brest District Court heard a new criminal case against Vitaly under the articles for "insult" and "damage to documents" in a closed session. Vitaly did not appear in court, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
