PRESIDNT OF REAL MADRID SOCCER TEAM DETAINED AT NY AIRPORT
Another high profile security snafu. From the team's web site:
Ramón Calderón detained in a New York airport due to mistaken identity
Real Madrid President Ramón Calderón was accidentally detained for several hours in a New York airport after an immigration officer saw that one of the President's surnames was blacklisted.
This coincidence activated the typical security measures which have been stepped up in recent days due to the U.N. summit and President George Bush's visit to New York. As soon as the incident was known, the Club contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior.
Once the matter had been resolved, the President of Real Madrid, who is in New York for personal reasons, received an apology and continued about his business.
