After the Russian annexation of Crimea, he was arrested in Crimea in May 2014 and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment by a Russian court in August 2015 on charges of plotting terrorism acts.[4] This was controversial and many believed his arrest was politically motivated.[5]
On 7 September 2019 he was released in a prisoner swap.[6]
