Yarmoshuk was first detained in this case on March 23, 2023, and was held for three days. Then they released him, but on June 11, 2023 they detained him again and took him into custody.
According to the indictment, on March 1, 2022, Yarmoshuk downloaded several files from the ItArmy of Ukraine website that allow DDoS attacks. Then he launched the program on his computer “at least 8 times,” which “broke the protection system against DDoS attacks” and “the operation of unidentified Internet resources of the Russian Federation was disrupted.” Thus, according to the state prosecution, Yarmoshuk “used malicious, potentially dangerous programs.” Also on August 19, 2020, Yarmoshuk transferred about $60 to the BySOL initiative via Facebook. 7 months later (March 12, 2021), the Belarusian authorities recognized the BySOL Foundation as an “extremist formation.” The fact that at the time of the money transfer BySOL was not an “extremist formation” does not bother the state prosecution.
On January 12, 2024, an appeal hearing was held at the court. The verdict came into force.
At first he was in Okrestina. Then he was arrested under the Criminal Code. Relatives note that Denis is a good, honest, fair and sympathetic guy. On pro-government channels, Denis is called the "chief visual editor" of the Supraci movement videos. In the video, Salmanovich says that he was detained by police officers because he "was a member of destructive Telegram channels", "collaborated with "Busly Lyatsyats"" and participated in protests in 2020.
The Court of Appeal reduced the sentence from 10 to 9.5 years' imprisonment.
Denis has a serious illness - chronic glomerulonephritis after hemorrhagic vasculitis. In the summer of 2024, an ambulance took the man from the colony. Salmanovich underwent surgery - his gallbladder was removed. After the operation, the man spent another week in the colony's medical unit until his stitches were removed.
The mother of the political prisoner says that the last time Denis contacted her was in mid-November 2024. After the call, the man was immediately taken to a punishment cell, where he remains to this day (January 2024).
In April 2025, his punishment was increased and he was transferred to prison.
