The prominent French movie actor Samy Naceri, known particularly for his work in the four Taxi films, has been put on Ukraine's Myrotvorets Center database for visiting Russia-annexed Crimea.

Naceri's profile on the Myrotvorets website says he was included in the database for deliberately violating Ukraine's border with the purpose of entering Russian-occupied Crimea.

"A participant in attempts to legalize the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea by Russia… Entered Crimea through a closed checkpoint on September 30, 2017," Naceri's profile says.

The actor has arrived in Crimea to take part in the 3rd international peacekeeping film festival 'I Love Peace' to open in Yalta on October 1.

Foreign politicians, moviemakers, and actors put on the Myrotvorets database are barred from entering Ukraine.
