**Sochi, Russia** - The head of police at Sochi International Airport has been detained on charges of smuggling new iPhones from Dubai into Russia. The officer is accused of using his position to facilitate the illegal import of the devices, which were then sold on the black market for a profit. The investigation began after several clients who had paid the officer to smuggle iPhones for them complained that they had not received their orders. The clients, who have not been identified, reportedly paid the officer thousands of dollars for the devices. Authorities searched the officer's home and office and found evidence of his involvement in the smuggling operation, including receipts for the purchase of iPhones in Dubai and records of payments from clients. The officer has been suspended from his position and is facing charges of bribery, abuse of office, and smuggling.
