According to Genrikh's LinkedIn page, he graduated from the Military Academy of the Republic of Belarus in 2016. He then served in the Internal Troops of Belarus for four years before retiring in August 2020.
According to Genrikh's cellmate, the arrest took place in February 2024 on the Crimean bridge, when he was already returning to Belarus. Ageyev himself has stated that he is a defendant in the "BYPOL case." He is accused of traveling to Crimea on behalf of a former GUBOPiK officer, a representative of Alexander Azarov's initiative (Azarov denies this). The exact purpose of the trips is unknown.
From approximately February to September 2024, Ageyev was held in the Simferopol pretrial detention center, on a special floor separated from the FSB, where there are no rules. Everyone on this floor sits there without any investigation, in their own clothes, without receiving packages or letters, for years. The nine months he spent there were wasted. His family thought he had died. He was then extradited to Belarus.
A Belarusian man was transported back to his homeland for 24 hours with a bag over his head, a former cellmate recounts. He was not allowed to use the restroom once during the entire journey. He is charged under several articles, including "treason" (Article 356 of the Criminal Code) and "participation in a terrorist organization" (Article 290-5 of the Criminal Code) for his ties to BYPOL, which is designated a "terrorist" organization in Belarus.
