Kasparov’s minibus detained in Sochi
SOCHI/MOSCOW/ROSTOV-ON-DON. Feb 17 (Interfax) – Leader of the United Civil Front Garry Kasparov has said the minibus he and his associates were traveling in was stopped by police in Sochi on Sunday.
“We rented the minibus and were traveling to a seaside town to meet with local residents. We were stopped on suspicion that the minibus had been stolen,” Kasparov told Interfax.
The driver was told to move all passengers to a police station, he said. “The driver has been writing something there for over 30 minutes. Our status is not clear. It looks like we were semi-detained,” Kasparov said.
Kuban law enforcement agencies claimed that only the driver had been taken to a police station and that Kasparov remained in the minibus.
“The vehicle in which Garry Kasparov and his associates were traveling in Sochi on Sunday was stopped by traffic police officers for a check. The check revealed that the car was registered to the driver’ wife and was being sought,” a source in Kuban law enforcement told Interfax.
Police are working to find out whether the minibus was stolen, the source said.
“The driver was invited to a traffic police station in Sochi to testify. Kasparov and other passengers remain in the minibus,” he said. sd rp

Again? How many times has been arrested?
The Russians are crazy and stupid.
Impeach Putin now!
Oh yeah, it is a sorry communist country. They have no articles of impeaching a Tzar!
Too bad! Rubinsputznicks!
Garry should join the police so that they will stop arresting him… he would just stay at the police station all day for a job. At least he would be paid to stay in the jailhouse!
Next time Garry should wear a disguise. He could disguise himself as Boris Yeltsin’s best friend: a giant Shmirnoff bottle.
No one would ever question a 5 1/2 foot tall bottle of vodka.
Garry needs to step-up his tactics against the FSB.
To be continued…
When arrested, Garry declared, “I am the people! I am the Russian flag, I am the flowers and trees! I am the sun and the sky! You cannot arrest me!”
Then he was put in a cell with Stanislas “The Butter Finger” Luchenko. Things got wierd after a while, but Garry managed to get out unscathed and had gained the friendship of Stanislas to include his phone number.
Call Hollywood, I want to sell the movie rights!
