Putin and the stolen Superbowl ring: a curious political issue!

The Russian President Vladimir Putin has remarkable a super bowl ring from the owner of the New England Patriots, Robert Kraft. The incident occurred in 2005, when strength, at that time freshly owned by his new ring for victory in the Super Bowl XXXIX, was with an economic delegation in Russia. According to reports from OE24 there was an extraordinary moment when Putin showed the ring. Putin put on him and noticed: "I could kill someone with that." But instead of returning the ring, Putin simply put it in and left the room, surrounded by KGB agents.

The attempt by Kraft to get the ring back failed. According to the report of CBS Sports After a call from the White House, he was pointed out that it would be better to sell the matter as a gift to Putin in order not to burden the American-Russian relations. Despite the disappointment, Kraft said in a subsequent statement that he left the ring "as a sign of respect and admiration for the Russian population and the leadership of President Putin".

A humorous end

Although the loss was painful, strength now takes the matter with humor. A spokesman for his company said in 2013 that strength likes to tell the story and is pleased that his ring is now exhibited in the Kremlin library. In the meantime, Kraft has received five other Super Bowl rings from the successes of his patriots, but the "stolen" ring remains an anecdote that keeps causing a sensation. Putin’s spokesman Dmitri Peskow rejected the accusation of theft and said that strength had voluntarily handed over the ring. It remains a curious story that rejects the public's skepticism.
