WBC heavyweight world champion Vitali Klitschko is suspected by German customs of smuggling. After arriving from Kyiv to Frankfurt am Main, the Ukrainian was detained by customs officers. \n \n"They took me to an inspection room and asked me to open my travel bag. I told the customs officers: 'Guys, I'm not a smuggler,'" Sportbox.ru quotes the boxer. \n \nAfter that, according to Klitschko, he was asked where he got an IWC brand watch and whether its value exceeds 1000 euros. The athlete reported that he received the watch as an award at the Laureus awards ceremony two years ago. \n \nAs a result, the watch and bag were confiscated. The boxer's belongings were repackaged by the customs officers into two plastic bags. \n \n"Incredible! These two guys decided to demonstrate their importance so they could later brag to friends and family. I'm glad I left my $1,500 shoes at home and now I won't have to run around Frankfurt barefoot," said the elder Klitschko. \n \nThe Ukrainian wrote down the names of the customs officers and is now threatening a lawsuit. \n
