The trial in the Minsk City Court began on June 3.

She was found guilty under Article 358-1 of the Criminal Code (intelligence activity). The trial was held behind closed doors, but state media reported that she was accused of "repeatedly providing information about vacationers, including high-ranking Belarusian officials." She was reportedly recruited by Lithuanian intelligence services more than 10 years ago.
