From the colony, he was met by his parents, as well as several representatives of the media.

In October 2018, Protasovitsky, together with Mamaev, Kokorin and his brother Kirill, were arrested and then convicted on charges of beating the head of the department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Pak, as well as the driver of TV presenter Olga Ushakova Vitaly Solovchuk.

In September, the court granted the request for the release of the Kokorins and Mamaev brothers on parole.

The Protasovitsky court rejected the request for parole.
