A 42-year-old man was arrested after allegedly stealing a custom-made, $1 million Richard Mille watch from a patron at The Booby Trap on the River in Miami. According to the arrest report filed on March 26, Diego Jair Sabogal, of Lake Worth, and accomplices are accused of executing a coordinated distraction-style robbery and theft.

The victim, who was unable to immediately realize the theft due to the commotion and distraction, realized his watch was missing shortly after. The stolen, custom-made Richard Mille watch is estimated to be worth approximately one million US dollars.Law enforcement positively identified Sabogal from the surveillance footage, and the victim also identified him as the individual who h...Hollywood man finds iguana in toilet

Robert Fico will become Slovakia’s next prime minister on Wednesday, the spokesperson of the country’s president confirmed.“The president will name the new cabinet and the new prime minister tomorrow at 2 p.m.,” spokesperson Martin Strižinec told POLITICO. Slovakia’s constitution stipulates that the president, currently Zuzana Čaputová, must appoint the government before it can officially start governing.This will be Fico’s fourth term in office, and follows his resignation as PM in 2018 after massive protests erupted calling for political change after the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée, Martina Kušnirová. Kuciak had been investigating the activities of the Italian mafia in Slovakia and was killed because of his work. Fico and other ministers in his cabinet at the time resigned after some 50,000 people demonstrated on the streets.Last week, Čaputová refused to back climate-change denier Rudolf Huliak from the rightist-populist Slovenská nár...China fires missing defense minister, two months after he disappeared

China’s Defense Minister Li Shangfu was fired Tuesday, almost two months after he was last seen in public, as part of what seems to be an ongoing purge of senior Chinese officials. Li has been missing since late August, a prolonged disappearance that has raised several questions about his whereabouts and safety.On Tuesday, China’s national broadcaster CCTV reported that he had been removed from his posts as defense minister and as state councilor, without offering further explanation or mentioning a replacement.This is the second time in three months that a senior Chinese official has been sacked from President Xi Jinping’s administration after mysteriously disappearing.Earlier this year, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang was fired after only seven months in his role and about three weeks after he also disappeared from the public eye — something Beijing at the time attributed to “health reasons.”Qin had initially retained the title of state councilor, but on Tuesday...‘Power problem’ causes train stoppage, portions of MBTA’s Green Line to switch to shuttle buses
