Sacha Baron Cohen offers to pay fines for fans who wore Borat swimsuits in Kazakhstan
Recently, six Czechoslovakian tourists were reportedly arrested in Kazakhstan for wearing lime green Borat-style “mankini” bathing suits. They were detained on charges of “minor hooliganism” and fined about $67 (22,500 tenge in Kazakhstan), with the BBC adding that Kazakh social media users were divided on the topic—some said the police are too “sensitive” and others that the resurrecting the Borat gag was an insult to “the honor of the nation.”
