A notification on the inside service’s site said Sergei Savelyev – a Belarus public looking for refuge in France – was needed regarding a vague criminal case.

While serving 7.5 years for drug dealing, he filled in as an IT support official, acquiring admittance to the jails inside the server and those of different correctional facilities, where he discovered a few recordings.
He saved them on a USB stick that he stowed away close to the jail exit.
A portion of the recordings was then distributed by the Russian freedoms bunches Gulagu.net, provoking an authority test and firing a few authorities.
