Reading
An old man was caught trying to break into a car in Moscow. The police took him to the station, where they found out he was a French diplomat named Pierre Levy.
Mr. Levy said he was a diplomat and was released because of international law. He didn't talk to regular police officers, only to a special investigator.
Mr. Levy later told a newspaper that he hadn't been paid in six months and needed money to live. He said he was sorry for what he did and would pay for any damage.
A news channel said that Mr. Levy might have done this many times before, causing around 30,000 rubles in damage. They believe he could be responsible for up to twenty different cases.
Russia is sending an official complaint to France about Mr. Levy. After that, France might make him come back home.
