Putin on Finland’s Criminal Blacklist by ‘Mistake’

(HELSINKI) — Vladimir Putin, banned in Finland?
普京被禁止访问芬兰了?
Finnish police say the Russian president’s name was mistakenly placed on a secret criminal register that could theoretically have gotten him arrested at the border.
芬兰警方表示俄总统普京可能被当做恐怖分子而在芬兰入境时被捕,因为他的名字被错误的归类到了一个机密的犯罪记录.
TV station MTV3 reported Wednesday that Putin was placed there for his contact with Russian motorcycle gang Night Wolves, though he wasn’t suspected of a crime in Finland. But National Police Board spokesman Robin Lardot told the AP the listing was a mistake and that Putin’s name was removed from the list.
MTV3电视台星期三表示,普京被分类到那里是因为他有与俄罗斯摩托车帮派-Night Wikves"夜狼"的通信记录, 不过他没有被怀疑在芬兰参与犯罪. 但是国家警察委员会的发言人Robin Lardot 告诉 美联社 普京的名字被归类到那里完全是个误会,而且他的名字也已经被从中移除.
“The National Police Board has investigated the case and indeed found that such a mistaken entry was in the register,” Lardot told The Associated Press. “We have ordered it to be removed and are investigating the case very thoroughly. We don’t know how it got there.” He declined further comment.
Lardot告诉美联社:国家警察委员会已经深入调查该案件,并表示这是一个发生在记录时的输入错误,我们已经下达移除普京名字的命令. 我们实在不清楚为何这会发生.
好了剩下不翻译了....
Putin’s inclusion would be a major source of embarrassment in bilateral relations.
Finnish Interior Minister Paivi Rasanen, whose ministry oversees the police, conveyed her “sincerest apologies” to Putin over the mistaken entry.
“The Interior Ministry considers it of grave concern if a member of the police has made such groundless entries into the database of suspects.”

MTV3 said the content of the register is known only to a few top officials. But in a statement later Wednesday, police called it a “computerized personal data file intended for nationwide used by the police.”
They said it includes information on people who are suspected of offenses punishable by prison “or having contributed to an offence subject to imprisonment of more than six months, or to an unlawful use of narcotics.”
The Night Wolves says on its Web site that the club’s prototype was born in the 1980s from the desire to protect musicians who were holding illegal concerts during the Soviet era.
The muscle-flexing Russian leader has not been averse to being associated with tough bikers and has described motorcycles as “the most dramatic form of transport.”
Three years ago, he leaped onto a Harley Davidson to join about 5,000 bikers at an international convention in southern Ukraine sporting black sunglasses, black jeans and black fingerless gloves.
The head of Finland’s national police force, Mikko Paatero, apologized for the “mistaken” inclusion of Putin’s name in the database.
“This kind of incident is extremely exceptional and is not acceptable under any circumstances,” Paatero said in a statement. |
