Viktor was arrested on January 4, 2020, as part of the "Avtukhovich case" and accused of participating in a "terrorist organization" involved in arson attacks on police property. He was convicted of "participating in a criminal organization," "attempted seizure of power," "illegal actions involving firearms," and "illegal movement of firearms across the customs border."

In 2024, Viktor was convicted again for "malicious disobedience to the demands of the prison administration." From February 2025, he was held in a cell-type facility (PKT), and in May of that year, a new sentence was announced under the same article, often used against prisoners for refusing to cooperate with the administration. As a result, his total prison term was 22 years and 6 months.

On July 3, 2025, Victor's appeal was considered .

In December 2025, Viktor was most likely convicted again under Article 411.
