Belarusian deemed especially dangerous in Germany detained in Ukraine

KYIV. Oct 25 (Interfax) - A Belarusian national previously put on the international wanted list has been detained by the Chernihiv border guard detachment at Ukraine's Novi Yarylovychi border crossing.

"The Belarusian was on his way to Ukraine the night before last. When he appeared at the border control, the Interpol database went off. [It turned out that] he had been put on the wanted list as an especially dangerous criminal for an assault by German law enforcement authorities back in 2007," the press center of Ukraine's State Border Guard Service said on Tuesday.

The Ukrainian Interpol Bureau in Kyiv was informed about the detention, it said

The Belarusian was handed over to Ukraine's National Police in the Chernihiv region.
