Czech Republic President Steals Pen?

Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus was caught in a video pocketing a pen during a press conference in his visit to Chile.

In the video, President Vaclav Klaus admired the pen, slowly moved it from one had to the other under the table and placed it into one of his jacket pockets as Chilean President Sebastian Pinera spoke to the press.

Now, Reuters is reporting that some Czech citizens are accusing Klaus of being a kleptomaniac. But the president’s staffers claim that he had every right to take the pen—and that he was, in fact, acting entirely in line with established Czech state protocols. “We at the Prague Castle always give such a pen to delegations, along with a notepad,” presidential spokesman Radim Ochvat told the news agency.
