Alexey, a retired justice lieutenant colonel, held various positions in the Investigative Committee from 2012 to 2021. In July 2021, he was arrested in connection with a criminal case opened under the article "group actions grossly violating public order."
In October 2021, Alexei was convicted for participating in the post-election protests that took place in Minsk in August 2020. In 2022, Lukashenko stripped him of his title.
He was released in April 2023, having fully served his sentence.
At the end of July 2023, Alexey was arrested again. Propaganda outlets claimed he allegedly "attempted to involve his former colleagues in the resolution of the issue through bribery, acting in the interests of a Ukrainian citizen serving a sentence."
In October 2023, he was found guilty of bribery and sentenced to imprisonment and a large fine.
