Ukraine's Foreign Minister Drunk, Scuffles With Cops

From the NY Times:

Interior Minister Yuri Lutsenko resigned Tuesday after being accused of drunken behavior last week at an airport in Germany. He denied that he had been intoxicated, and said in a statement that he was the victim of a “dirty campaign” to discredit him and his ministry.

A Lufthansa plane crew in Frankfurt had refused to allow Mr. Lutsenko and his 19-year-old son to board a flight to Seoul because they were drunk and disorderly, the German police said. Mr. Lutsenko was accused of physically attacking and insulting police officers.
