The Vladmir Putin Super Bowl ring incident refers to an incident in which Vladimir Putin allegedly stole the Super Bowl ring of New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft. In June 2005, New England Patriots owner and businessman Robert Kraft was in a business meeting with American executives and Russian president Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, Russia. At one point during the meeting, Putin asked to see Kraft's 2005 Super Bowl ring. Encouraged by Citigroup Chairman Sanford Weill, Kraft removed the ring and handed it to Putin, who looked at it briefly, then pocketed it and left the room. Later, Kraft claimed the ring was a gift. Dmitry Peskov, a senior Russian official, later reported to The Associated Press that the ring had been put in the Kremlin library along with other foreign gifts. See Also
