The appeal was delayed, the fine was eventually canceled due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

However, the senior criminal investigator for the Ust-Vym District did not agree with this decision and filed a complaint against the judge's decision to cancel the fine. A new hearing is scheduled for August 17, 2022.
