It is known that in 2024, Zakhar was previously tried for hooliganism: he was sentenced to two months' arrest, amnestied, and released from the courtroom. However, later, in November of that year, he was arrested again and placed in pretrial detention.

In February 2025, a case was brought against Zakhar under the article “Organization and preparation of actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in them” (1 episode), and in May of the same year he was found guilty and sentenced to restriction of freedom with direction.
