Victoria was found guilty three times in a criminal case brought under the article "insulting a government official."
She was first convicted in March 2021 for a comment under a post about Vasily Molchan and Igor Kachuk, police officers from the Sovietsky District Administration of Minsk, which the court deemed degrading.
She was later convicted again for a comment on Telegram addressed to Vadim Yakimchik, a senior detective in the criminal investigation department. For both counts, Victoria was given a suspended sentence without being sent to an open correctional facility.
In December 2021, she was convicted again on a third count. The details of the case are unknown. It is only known that the state prosecution had requested a sentence of restricted freedom and placement in an open correctional facility, while at that time, Victoria had approximately six months left to serve her sentence of house arrest.
