Former Russian diplomat Pavel Borodin was greeted by an unexpected welcoming committee when he got off the plane at J.F.K. -- the FBI. The one-time head of the Kremlin's huge property empire came to the U.S. to attend President-elect George W. Bush's inauguration, but instead spent the night in a Brooklyn detention center. The Russian government is protesting the arrest, which was enforcing a warrant sworn out in Switzerland last year. Borodin is accused of participating in a money laundering scheme involving Swiss banks.
