Andrei was arrested in July 2021 in a criminal case initially opened under the statute "hooliganism" for bringing a funeral wreath to a police officer's home.
In December 2021, Andrei was found guilty of "violence or threat of violence against a law enforcement officer" and "threat against a judge or assessor." He was sentenced to imprisonment in a penal colony and ordered to pay substantial compensation to police officer Kalkovsky.
He was released in March 2024, having fully served his sentence as imposed by the court.
