Wrote “Fuck you” in ink

Not the first time
Akilov has previously misbehaved in prison.

Then, among other things, he is said to have shouted “Heil Hitler”, made the “Hitler salute” and had an outburst at the staff. He is said to have also been reprimanded for shouting “Fuck you”, singing loudly and pointing his finger at the camera in the detention center’s rest area.
