On 17 May 2011, a search was conducted in Romanov's flat as part of a criminal case opened in connection with the publication on the website mkedo.ru of the video "Fascists in shoulder straps", which filmed the scene of Romanov's detention. The prosecutor demanded to interrogate Romanov's six-year-old daughter. Investigators visited the kindergarden and place of work.
