It was Karimov who had sports training (master of sports in taekwondo, also professionally engaged in powerlifting), which allowed him to gain the upper hand against several employees in the office at once during the disciplinary commission. As for the so-called “local lockers”, as it turned out, contrary to all the rules and instructions, they were constantly open in the colony. 
“In the pre-trial detention center, Karimov was mostly in solitary confinement and constantly trained. The regime did not accept him, he communicated with everyone on an equal basis, with thieves, with men. There were 5 people in his case, including one woman, all of whom were charged with selling drugs and heroin. Karimov did not fully admit guilt. Of all his accomplices, he had the most stable support – he had relatives, a wife, and children in his homeland. He complained that during the investigation he was deceived several times, either by lawyers or by translators, and after the verdict he became so wild,” said a source of the Cheka-OGPU.
