Champions League: Belgian Fans Jailed for Wearing Borat-Style Swimsuits in Kazakhstan

Three Belgian fans were arrested and sentenced to five days in jail in Kazakhstan after attending a Champions League match wearing Borat-inspired swimsuits. The fans, who were watching the Kairat Almaty vs. Club Brugge game, caused a disturbance in the public order with their behavior. Police removed them from the stadium and charged them with violating public order. The incident highlights the lack of appreciation for Borat-related humor in Kazakhstan, which has been working to improve its international image for years.
