Atilay Uslu nearly sparked a pissy riot.
The head of Corendon Dutch Airlines, a sponsor of the Dutch Olympic speed skating team, was on his way home from a celebratory Sunday night out in Sochi when he used the “bathroom” on a fence. Not just any fence: This one was outside of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s villa, UPI reported.
Uslu was quickly surrounded by a group of Russian soldiers. Uslu told UPI the soldiers talked about a “one-way ticket to Siberia and asked me if I had not seen the security cameras or knew that it was Putin’s house.”
Uslu was released after an hour. He says he was $1,364 lighter when he was let go.
“I don’t really feel like trying to get it back,” he said.
