On October 27, 2021, Andrei was found guilty of insulting Vladimir Kozlovsky, a police officer from Grodno who fell during a brawl on May 29, 2020, at a picket to collect signatures for Svetlana Tikhanovskaya's nomination as a presidential candidate. According to the prosecution, Andrei left a comment on the social media platform Odnoklassniki containing the word "scum" under Olga Karach's post.
Despite being classified as a second-degree disabled person due to heart problems, he was held in custody for almost a month. After the verdict was announced, Andrei was released in the courtroom.
