On 23 October 2019, a search took place at Gezik's home. On 30 December, it became known that a case was opened against Gezik and her husband for involvement in the activities of an extremist organization. They were also accused of inducement to participate in such an organization and of failing to perform the duties of raising a minor, as well as of financing extremist activities, but this charge was later dropped. In May 2021, the investigation into the case was suspended but later resumed. On 14 November 2022, she was sentenced to 4 years and 2 months probation.
