Detention by Russian police

On 16 January 2008, when he was director of the British Council in St Petersburg, Russia, Kinnock was stopped by Russian police on suspicion of drunk driving, a move that British officials believe to be part of a campaign of intimidation against the British Council and its staff in Russia following the fallout over the Alexander Litvinenko poisoning.
