Moldovan police chief briefly detained at Moscow airport

Interim police chief Gheorghe Cavaliuc was stopped by Russian border police Tuesday and held at Domodedovo airport. He said he was initially informed there was a problem with his passport and later told he resembled a wanted criminal.

Cavaliuc was freed after three hours. He said he believed his detention was connected to his work, saying "I have researched a lot of international organized crime groups."
