German citizen arrested at St. Petersburg airport with cannabis gummy bears.
38-year-old flew from Hamburg via Istanbul to meet a woman he met on the Internet. Russia is denying German diplomats direct access to the man, according to SPIEGEL information. Western diplomats accuse Russia of imprisoning Western citizens in exchange for releasing imprisoned Russian criminals or making other political demands. The arrest is likely to further strain relations between Russia and Western countries. The man was arrested and charged with possession of a narcotic.
