Alexey was arrested on June 30, 2021, as part of a criminal investigation into an incident at a Russian Navy communications facility near Vileika.
According to the prosecution's case presented in court, Alexei and Vadim Gulevich, "dressed in camouflage and armed with firearms, entered the military facility and planted explosive devices with a blast radius of up to 11 meters." One of them failed to detonate and was defused. An examination revealed that the devices were initiated with a delayed action.
The damages were estimated at over 26,000 rubles. In December 2022, he was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment in a maximum-security penal colony and a large fine.
In August 2023, a court hearing was held to discuss the issue of changing the sentence, as a result of which Alexei was transferred to a prison regime.
