Aleksander, however, has several times denied ever spending time in jail, including in an interview published on December 5, 2008 in the same publication where his brother commented about the issue. Some commentators have put in doubt Emelianenko's prison time because of Japan's strict immigration policy against convicted felons, which normally would not allow him to fight in Japan as he has done, while others point out that some of his tattoos are an indication that he spent some time in jail, although some of his tattoos would indicate a status which he could not achieve at the time of his imprisonment for being too young.</p></blockquote><p></p>
