According to the Russian investigation, from August to November 2022, Dikoy, acting "as part of an organized group under the leadership of representatives of the highest military and political leadership of Ukraine", carried out terrorist activities in order to intimidate the population and destabilize the activities of the state authorities of the Russian Federation."

Due to mine-explosive injuries, several people died, and several more were wounded of varying severity. Wild was placed on the international wanted list, and the court in absentia chose a measure of restraint for him in the form of detention. On June 2, 2025, the 2nd Western Military District Court found Denis Dikiy guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment, with the first 5 years to be served in prison, and the remainder in a strict regime penal colony. The verdict was not appealed and entered into legal force.
